"Desperation will allow you to do incredible things in the name of survival."

"I created an environment for myself and a way of living for myself that on the outside seemed incredibly gregarious and vivacious and it was just... I dont believe I have any chemical pre-disposition towards depression but lets just call it, I was suffering from a spiritual malady I suppose, for years, and I just indulged that and it was sweet. Because at times to be in pain, if its self-perpetuated, at times, can be sweet. You can feel very alive when youre in pain. And I also know that from another perspective when somebody who I love in my life has passed away, there is something incredibly internally vivacious about feeling pain and mourning and even if its as egocentric and self-indulgent as mourning for yourself or pitying for yourself and that sort of stuff. So Im glad Im out of that cycle of my life, and Im very lucky that way."
