But there's a difference between having artistic interests and being psychotic. That's more than a fine line of differentiation, and I do see that a bit too much.

We allow for many more gradations of personality in life than we do in art.

Many artists use their own lives as a kind of case study to examine what it's like to be human.

I think a lot of people look to me as a sort of lifestyle icon.

There are things about the single lifestyle that are very appealing.

Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.

Everyone likes to hear that their eccentricities and their addictions are simply evidence of their sensitive artistic nature.

People's personalities, like buildings, have various facades, some pleasant to view, some not.

Ideologies, however appealing, cannot shape the whole structure of perceptions and conduct unless they are embedded in daily experiences that confirm them.
