You get trapped by stories. Though I've got this reputation for being out of control, it's not true, it just happens to be a more interesting story than the truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are some truths to some of the stories, but a lot of it isn't - you just have got to let it go.
When you write a story, it just flows and you don't control it. It's subconscious.
I have a hard time keeping a story straight when I tell the truth because when you start lying you have to remember what you said, and I'm not very good at that.
I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
But every day I tell my story, and be comfortable with my story and be comfortable with what I've done, and what I did, and how I am today, it lessens the likelihood it will ever happen.
In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.
Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'.
By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself. You pin down certain truths.
I don't ever want anything to come in the way of me truthfully telling a story.
False stories used to affect me initially. But now, I've come to understand that if false stories are created, they are also forgotten in the long run.
