My imaginary friends have become my imaginary children.
Every driven person comes from a mountain of pain they wish to keep hidden.
I was very tiny...I spent most of my time stuffed into lockers. Thank god for cell phones, or I'd still be there.
I don't think I've ever tried to be something that I'm not. People do that for you. People try to pigeonhole you. People tried typecasting me, before they even saw me in anything else. I've never understood that. I was like, "Why don't you wait until my next project, before you start telling my what my career is going to look like, for the next 10 years?" I've never let it set me back because I always knew the world would try to do that for me, anyway.
There are ways to meet people and surround yourself with like-minded people who will support you.
Like having a great idea, life comes at you fast. It hits you and tries to escape and be expressed in any way possible. In a way, it's a lot like...lightning.
Whoa, I've really got to stop making plans with fictional characters. It can't be healthy to develop relationships with people who don't exist.
Don’t listen to what people tell you because they’ll try to bring you down. And don’t listen to yourself, either, because yourself will try to bring you down even more so than anyone else. As long as you just put all your energy into one thing, it can happen.
No matter what you do, you can never please everyone. And that was the hardest lesson to learn. In fact, I'm still learning it.
...because a life without meaning, without drive or focus, without dreams or goals, isn't a life worth living.
Sometimes we forget about our own advantages because we focus on what we don't have. Just because you have to work a little harder at something that seems easier to others doesn't mean you're without your own talents.
I do all kind of fun things when I'm unconscious.
I don't know much, But when push comes to shove, I definitely don't believe, There's such a thing as wrong love.
I grew up in a conservative small town, and the gay characters I saw on TV and in movies when I was growing up were all flamboyant and obnoxious and sometimes kind of annoying.
