“Who wants to feel everything everyone else feels all the time?”

“Everyone wants to feel loved, but when all you feel is alone it's tough to accomplish anything else.”

“Isn't that the tragedy of growing up though? One day you wake up and realize that everything you are and everything you feel is not much different from what everyone else feels.”

“A man who wants to die feels angry and full of life and desperate and bored and exhausted, all at the same time; he wants to fight everyone, and he wants to curl up in a ball and hide in a cupboard somewhere. He wants to say sorry to everyone, and he wants everyone to know just how badly they've all let him down.”

“But that's what being an artist is - feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy.”

“The difference between you and everyone else, is everyone else. And that’s a lot, so you should feel special.”
