I don't want to be mad.

I want to be a robot.

I don't want to be a robot.

I want to be a whole human with a whole brain.

Like, this is life.

And it lasts this long, and then it's gone.

I think we're absolutely beautiful.

You know, none of us came into this world with a roadmap about how to get it all right.
