At the end of the day, that's our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else.
My name is not big enough for people to go, 'Let me throw money at you because you're so famous!'
What is important is to treat everyone like an individual and learning not to generalize autism. With autism, people make assumptions, but it's very broad, and everyone's so different. You have to treat each person as an individual.
I'm really into the Tom Ford lipsticks. I was always afraid to wear lip color because I thought it made me look too masculine, but my makeup artist Fiona Stiles got me into wearing coral, orange-y colors from his line, and now I wear lipstick all of the time.
If I had more confidence, I would rock a crop top.
I've never really made a big deal out of my birthday.
Everyone in my family has some kind of artistic tendency. My great grandmother was a jewelry designer, and her daughter was a ceramic tile muralist.
I think we use a lot of words and labels when trying to describe people: ones with autism, ones without autism. In general, I think that labeling people is a major issue, and people don't understand the power of language.
I do feel like by buying rats from a pet store, you are saving them because if not, they would get fed to a snake or something.
Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.
I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.
I think we are all overcoming tiny obstacles every second of every day even if that means just a small shift in perspective.
I have always been a very passionate person. Some people are born with this fire burning inside to "do," or create, with an insatiable hunger for knowledge and experience, and I am no exception.
I think we learn some of the greatest lessons in life from animals, whether it's love, suffering, or the value of silence.
