• One of the biggest things I've done is learn how to love myself, flaws and all. Even the things I don't like about myself, I accept.

Eating a baked potato after a swim meet made me happy. Pickles made me happy.

• Terence, this is stupid stuff: You eat your victuals fast enough; There can't be much amiss, 'tis clear, To see the rate you drink your beer. But oh, good Lord, the verse you make, It gives a chap the belly-ache. The cow, the old cow, she is dead; It sleeps well the horned head: We poor lads, 'tis our turn now To hear such tunes as killed the cow. Pretty friendship 'tis to rhyme Your friends to death before their time. Moping, melancholy mad: Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.

• I did all the stuff that people do - film, performance, photography, pictures and words, words and pictures.
