As you get older, the pickings get slimmer, but the people don't.
You know how most illnesses have symptoms you can recognize? Like fever, upset stomach, chills, whatever. Well, with manic depression, it's sexual promiscuity, excessive spending, and substance abuse - and that just sounds like a fantastic weekend in Vegas to me!
It's hard to date once you're a big Star Wars star because you don't want to give people the ability to say, "I had sex with Princess Leia."
For Star Wars, they had me tape down my breasts because there are no breasts in space. I have some. I have two.
My extroversion is a way of managing my introversion.
Your innermost urges will tell you what strategy to employ to accomplish your special purpose while doing the work you enjoy.
Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.
Instant gratification takes too long.
Bipolar disorder can be a great teacher. It's a challenge, but it can set you up to be able to do almost anything else in your life.
Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.

I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.
