"My life has changed a
great deal. That’s why there’s a new, freer me. There will be a
lot of new ‘me's,’ and I am looking forward to meeting them all."
"I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm
a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition
is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing,
then I think it's cool. It's very healthy."
"I believe we have other lives. I don't
believe in the finality of death."
