The upside of revealing yourself and making yourself vulnerable and speaking your truth about your own fears, insecurities, problems … always yields a greater good than it does a backlash.

The obvious truth, when it comes down to it, is that we’re all in the same fucking boat – so many people experience fear and worry and insecurity and … lack of discipline, self-loathing – you name it… When you raise your hand and talk about your own insecurities and problems … what you usually see a bunch of people out there nodding their heads, saying: “Oh my god! I’m so happy to hear someone say that – that’s what I’ve been feeling.”

And this is, ultimately… the purpose of a lot of art – to make us feel less alone.
