Life's a hobby.

By the time I was 12 or 13, I was studying biochemistry textbooks.

If you wanted to dissect the structure of living cells, genetic analysis was an extremely powerful method, so my interest turned to that.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.
