The gospel will die in the toxic soil of self.
I'm particularly weird because I don't even like being looked at.

I stand by every mistake I've ever made, so judge away.
I don't want to be Angelina Jolie. Not that Angelina Jolie is not the most talented, beautiful, successful, amazing, admirable person who does good things for the world, but I don't want to be a movie star like that.
