Drugs made me feel more normal.

People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn’t know was George.

I’m fine, but I’m bipolar. I’m on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I’m never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It’s like being a diabetic.

Now I say I’m a diarist with an explanation I’ll get back to you on. Someday I may try and write in memoir form.

Drugs made me feel more normal.

I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened – that I might have killed myself.

I think that the truth is a really stern taskmistress.

I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.

The manic end of is a lot of fun.

Leia follows me like a vague smell.

I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life.

I don’t think Christmas is necessarily about things. It’s about being good to one another, it’s about the Christian ethic, it’s about kindness.

I don’t want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I’m not interested in doing that anymore.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

Instant gratification takes too long.

Kevin Smith is a very challenging conversationalist and Jay has many great stories.

I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
