What I want, and what I’m coming into right now, I think, is my power. That just means getting over the bull-shit of being self-conscious and insecure, and all the things that go along with this business:constant rejection and the way they compare you to people…And the whole idea that I only have so much time and I have to play it very safe. It just fucks with you. I question myself all the time. Why am I in an industry that makes me feel like shit? I know that only I can make me feel like shit, and I’m not going to make myself feel like shit anymore.
