Respect the place you live, be aware of the impact that you have on things.
When people dont know exactly what depression is, they can be judgmental.
As a teenager, I didn't want to be me; I wanted to be many different people. Maybe I realized that they all lived inside me and that if I managed to connect with them, they would become aspects of me.

It's pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.
When I was little, there were so many people in my house. Everyone was enjoying themselves, rehearsing, having fun. It was like a playground.

An artist is maybe not always having a normal life.

You don't really see yourself doing things, of course, but you feel.
When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it's really disturbing.
