I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.

It was fun to be clever.

It's true - I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me.

People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.
