“The assumption that you everyone else is like you. That you are the world. The disease of consumer capitalism. The complacent solipsism.”
“Almost all of us have the hankering to be famous, to be important, to be admired, to stand out, but the assumption is you have to be different or better to get that. No. The best thing is to be famous, to be cuddled by the public, but to be like everyone else.”
“I know what it's like to start something and have it suddenly grow out of control. And you want to get rid of it, because it's hurting you and everyone else around you, but every time you try to do that, it consumes you again.”
“Why do people want everyone to act just like they do? Talk like they do. Look like they do. Act like they do. And if you don't— If you don't, people make the assumption that you do not FEEL what they feel. And then they make the assumption— That you must not feel anything at all. ”
“Be yourself and like what you like, fuck everyone else.”
“Do not be afraid. Because if you let these fears consume you, you’ll most likely fail even before everything else starts.”
