I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.

I guess my experience with some stuff is kind of abstract.

For me, I'd rather have an intense experience than not.

I had a really wonderful upbringing. We were a tight family. It was wonderful to grow up with so many siblings. We were all just a year or two apart, and we were always so supportive of each other. I learned everything from my older brother and sister and taught it to my younger sisters.

I always have the fear that, if I don't commit 100 percent to my work, then it's gonna suffer.
