“From the time I was little, I always felt like an outsider. I always felt nervous and uncomfortable with myself.”

“I've always felt quite like an outsider. I don't really belong in the mainstream, and I quite like that.”

“I always felt that I was not a part of things in general. I've always been outside of things.”

“I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time.”

“As always after drinking too much, I felt like my own ghost trying to take it's first solo walk outside the body.”

“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time.”

“I had always wondered what it felt like to die.”

“I felt like I was just not being myself. I felt like I was hiding. I was hiding from me. I was hiding from sparkle and magic and fun and fearlessness and music and dance and creative magic… I just knew I had feelings. I knew I had thoughts. I knew I had things I wanted to say. Listen, I'm rebellious. Okay? I always have been. And Erika Jayne is a little bit of a rebel too.”

“It’s good to be 18. For a long time I felt like I was fighting my age, like I was constantly trying to prove to people that I was a savvy peer, and I felt them viewing me as a kid. I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9, you know? I think that’s because my parents always treated me as an adult.”

“I never did feel like a star. I was always uptight about something and uncomfortable and not very good. I felt weighed down by it, the pressure. It's terrible I should have enjoyed it but I didn't; I was thinking about what we should do all the time, I wasn't able to run with it.”
