I Would Be Scared To Go Under

The Jewish Part Of Me Is Superstitious.

When I Was Starting Out, I Would Get Printouts Of What Was Being Written About Me That Week. At First It Was All Good Things, And Then It Started To Turn. I Very Quickly Learned, "this Isn't Good, This Isn't Helping Me." But It Was A Very Important Exercise For Me In Terms Of Really Understanding That One's Sense Of Self Is Internal. I Have Had An Extreme Opportunity To Learn That Lesson, And I Think It's Been Such A Blessed Fortune.

My Dad Always Said He Couldn't Remember A Time When I Did Not Want To Act.

Some Days I Feel Like Everyone In My World Has Plugged Themselves Into My Kidneys. I'm So Tired.

When I Was Twenty-one, A Friend Gave Me A Book Called Diet For A New America By John Robbins, Which Exposed The Brutal Practices Of American Factory Farms. That, Coupled With A Lecture From Leonardo Dicaprio (when He Was Nineteen And I Was Twenty-one) About How Such Animals Are Kept And Processed, Made Me Lose My Desire For Factory Farm Pork And Beef Right There.
