“My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV.”
“[asked if his suicide attempt was a cry for help]No. I told no one. You only cry for help if you believe that there's help to cry for.”
