I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.
I'm not a control freak.
I'm not the Queen. I'm not a huge superstar; I don't get paparazzi around me.
I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
The age thing really bugs me. Do people have more of a right to not like what I say because I'm 19?
I feel like I'm 100 years old. I can't tell you what I did today. I can't tell you what I did for seven years. I can't tell you. It happens so seamlessly - I'm just floating along and seven years go by.
I've gone through stages where I hate my body so much that I won't even wear shorts and a bra in my house because if I pass a mirror, that's the end of my day.
In a sense it's a lot crazier when you're on the road and it's a lot less stable, but it's actually really healthy for me because it keeps me from isolating, which I tend to do a lot.
I used to get a shiver if I thought about holding balloons, because I was scared of floating away.
I resent limitations. I'm going to be this way for a while.
I got into therapy in the fifth grade because I said in a sarcastic way that I was going to kill myself, and they didn't get it then. Nothing's changed.
Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now.
I have a very steadfast tendency to parent myself, to monitor my development into the person I want to be. I've tried to keep the corruption minimal.
I got drunk when I was five. Everybody gets drunk before they're 21.
