People pretend to know me when they don't. I feel uncomfortable when I feel like I don't remember someone.

It's weird when people come up to me and know stuff about my life. That sort of creeps me out.

This thing with everyone knowing you, it's weird, because people have this one-sided relationship where they look at your picture and feel they know you more than someone they actually know. I don't really know myself that well.

It's a very sweet and often problematic situation where people feel like they know me and they're concerned for me. It creates these strange little intimate moments.

People sometimes think I'm sort of all-knowing.

People feel like they know me from the work I have done, but it's not me.

I can't write things. I'm embarrassed all the time about that, particularly if people don't know that about me.

Everyone knows a lot about me without actually knowing me at all.

But people who do not know me are surprised to see me as a real person I guess.

One of the hardest aspects of this protracted public persona is not knowing others as well as they feel they know me. It's a rather clumsy feeling actually; to not know someone who acts as though you're old friends.
