Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something.

The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me.

Not many people know what their parents sound like having sex. It was noisy.

My mother tells this story that when I first went to school, I thought I was going to help the teachers. I didn't realise I was going to get educated.

My mother did literally hitchhike barefoot to the country store.

My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves.

I've got a new relationship and I'm trapped in this old life.

I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song.

I would think: Stay close to the implants! They must know something because they keep getting asked backstage!

I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat.

I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic.

I grew up with too much freedom. You can't define yourself.

I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.

Every job I've ever gotten has been an accident. All the jobs I actually go after, I don't get.

I have a tree man coming to trim the jacaranda in my front garden.

I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne.

I don't want to lose my name because that's how I know myself. There is a legacy here.

Gag me with a spoon!

I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't.

I should just drive around this city and take photos of all the buildings I've been humiliated in.
