If you can't control everything, you can't control anything, not really.

I'm a fairly neurotic person.

Even at age 10, I already knew that I was different from most people. My anxiety disorder was still years from being diagnosed, but it affected me quite deeply. I was too afraid to speak out in class, too nervous to make real friends.

This book came about because I was trying to sell another book, unsuccessfully, about health and wellness.

I'm an extraordinarily anxious person. I'm a typical actor: narcissistic and paranoid and all them things.
