I'm glad I can present a polished version of myself when it counts.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I take a lot of pride in being myself. I'm comfortable with who I am.
I can look at myself in the mirror, and I can be proud.
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
My biggest satisfaction is always when I make something beautiful and well-done that I can see on a real man or woman - not only in the glossy magazines.
I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.
It's taken me years to embrace the softer elements of who I am and let that shine some.
I get to remind myself and other people to be yourself, to rock you who you are, and don't worry about if it fits.
If you would make the most of yourself, never picture yourself as anything different from what you would actually be, the man or woman you long to become.
I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself.
I was never interested in looking at myself in an aesthetic mirror. My intention was always to get away from myself, though I knew perfectly well that I was using myself. Call it a little game between 'I' and 'me.'
