I always thought I was depressive, and I only recently realized that I have more of an anxiety disorder than chronic depression.

I have a master's in psychology, and depression and anxiety are considered to be cyclical.

Afterlife, in my mind, is pretty much nothing. This is it. This is what we get, for me.

I like Cronenberg's early work; his '80s films had all these weird, amorphous flesh objects in them.

My mom is the type of mom who wonders why I haven't used my psychology degree to become a successful clinical psychologist.

When I was twelve or thirteen, if you liked something that was outside of your friend group genre, you had to rationalize and explain it in some way. It's totally irrelevant, I think, now. I don't think anybody cares. Not young people, at least. Maybe journalists.
