I Started Working Around Eigth Grade. I

I Felt Like I Was An Outsider. I Think What Happened To Me Made Me Develop This Street Sense Of Watching People And Working Out What Made Them Tick, Wondering Whether I Could Trust Them Or Not. I Went To A Lot Of Schools Along The Coast In California, Made Few Friends And Stayed With Aunts, Uncles And Grandparents While My Folks Tried To Make Ends Meet. It Was Tough. We Had No Money.

I Am A Blank Slate - Therefore I Can Create Anything I Want.

I'm Close To Being A Vegan, But I'm Not One, Technically. I Don't Eat Eggs, Or Nearly Any Dairy - No Cheese Or Milk. I Do Eat Honey, And A Piece Of Milk Chocolate Here And There. It's Never Really Been That Hard For Me. I've Never Had Any Desire To Eat Meat. In Fact, When I Was A Kid I Would Have A Really Difficult Time Eating Meat At All. It Had To Be The Perfect Bite, With No Fat Or Gristle Or Bone Or Anything Like That. I Don't Judge People Who Eat Meat - That's Not For Me To Say - But The Whole Thing Just Sort Of Bums Me Out.

I'm Not Into Sugar For Kids, But You Don't Want Your Kid To Be The Carrot Kid. There's Always The Kid At The Birthday Parties Carrying A Bag Of Carrots. You've Got To Let Them Eat A Little Cake.

I Have No Illusions At All About Being A Sex Symbol. None Of My Former Girlfriends Ever Thought Of Me That Way, And I Don't Have Any Packs Of Women Chasing Me Down The Street Like A Brad Pitt Or Someone Like That.
