The thing is, if you're in this world, you have to do things for yourself, not for others, because everyone will judge you for anything.

I do everything: I'll have a green juice, then a melted chocolate ice cream. I stay up very late, I get up very early.

It's in every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away.

I don't want to break someone's heart, but you can't control that. A broken heart happens; that's inevitable.
