Everybody Acts Like I'm Nuts. I'm Not

Rape Is The Most Humiliating Thing That Can Be Done To You; It's The Most Vulnerable That You Can Be. But Once I Realized That, I Became A Stronger Person And Faced All My Fears.

I've Done Things That Can Be Made Fun Of. It's Not Such A Bad Thing. If I'm Going To End Up A Role Model, Then I'd Rather Not End Up Being The Kind Of Role Model That Pretends To Be Perfect, And Pretends That She Always Has The Right Thing To Say. I'm A Product Of Role Models That Didn't Make Me Feel Like I Was As Good As Them.

I Really Don't Think Anything I Do Is A Mistake. It Could Be If I Didn't Learn From It. But In The Long Run, No Matter What I Do For The Rest Of My Life, I'll Know I Did Something Wonderful By Saying What I Felt. That's What I Said At The Awards There: "go With Yourself." And That's What I Did.

It's Weird Not Having Companionship And Not Having Somebody To Talk To. I Have Two Goldfish In My Hotel Room. They Said, "if You Would Like Companionship, We Can Bring You A Goldfish." I Was Like, "bring Me A Goldfish!" I Have Two Because When I Needed The Water Changed They Brought Another One. I Was Like, "don't Take Desmond!"

I Had Really Bad Obsessive-compulsive Disorder. At Its Worst, I Was Compelled To Leave My House At Three O'clock In The Morning And Go Out In The Alley Because I Just Knew That The Paper-towel Roll I Threw In The Recycling Bin Was Uncomfortable, Like It Was Lying The Wrong Way, And I Would Be Down In The Garbage.
