"Some people, evidently, find it hard to know what to say to someone like me. However, if I allow them to talk about themselves, they’re often very relieved. This suits me just fine, as I’m not particularly interested in their stories anyway."
"I find birthdays difficult. It is the lack of acknowledgment from the world at large that affects me most. Not that I have an inflated sense of self-importance—far from it. It's more a case of feeling that I might disappear and no one would notice."
