I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.

I just always considered myself to be different and able to explore whatever I wanted.

I like being different.

And to be different is great. You don't want to be the same.

I was told at first that being different was a bad thing. Everywhere I went, it was just, 'You're too different'... And it turned out that being different was the best thing that ever happened to my career. It is why people travel to my shows. It's why people want to hear my story and buy my book.

For about the first ten years of my career, I wasn't terribly motivated.

I felt ashamed of being different and ashamed of feeling that way.

I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.

From the time I was growing up, if I felt that there was some, like, pot of gold waiting for me, I don't know that I would have been so motivated.
