I want them to listen to me for what I am saying. And I think the best way to do that is to sniff my armpits, and like, sit and burp every now and then.
People forget we come from an embryo and we're part sperm and part ovary. We have both sides in us.
I wasn't into smooching until I was 16.
Jersey is my hometown, and I love it. I'll probably have houses in other places, but that's my home, and nobody's kicking me out of there.
To make a video game come to life was definitely a childhood fetish of mine. I have to admit there's not much substance there, but it was fun.
It's pretty intriguing what you learn. Twelve minutes of three-dimensional footage cost so much money. Like, $60 million. Your imagination runs wild. You have all these possibilities. You can do anything with film and make anything come to life.
I'm glad if women, men, boys are into the kick-ass movement. That gives me hope.

You have to struggle no matter where you are to get to where you're going.
It's a huge loss for us. It's like losing your child, like your child has died. We're not going to be able to visit her. We're not going to be able to talk to her or look at her or anything. It's going to be hard. In the morning, I love to see her smile and wake up and hear her laugh. I'm not going to have that anymore.
I took the GED, and left the option open to go to school. I did go to business school but left after four months because I just didn't want to be a puppet of society, stuck in an office, craving some sunlight.
A lot of people are really intimidated when a girl comes out and she's really tough.
