"I did not like to be touched, but it was a strange dislike. I did not like to be touched because I craved it too much. I wanted to be held very tight so I would not break. Even now, when people lean down to touch me, or hug me, or put a hand on my shoulder, I hold my breath. I turn my face. I want to cry."-Marya Hornbacher

"You know what? I’ll tell you where I learned it.
When I was a kid, my parents would come to some of my sporting events, and I would drag them through the melodramas of my sporting events. If I lost the game for the team or something, I just felt responsible for them. And as they stopped coming as I got older -- they were not as devoted and stopped coming -- I liked it. I liked not having anybody there. Maybe I didn’t have anybody there rooting for me, but I didn’t have anybody there who was responsible or who would see me fail.
I could go to the game on my own and after the game I could talk and meet somebody, and I could come home anytime. I got attracted to something in that isolation and I’ve never changed. But you pay a price for that. I don’t think people have any clue what my life is really like. I just punish myself all the time, put so much pressure on myself all the time. I don’t take any time out. I broke my kneecap once and taped it up with electrical tape and hobbled around on it for four days because I was very behind on finishing something.
There was no way I was going to sit in an emergency room
for eight hours or have a cast put on it. I just hobbled through it until I was done and eventually, in the quickest way that I could, I got it treated. I don’t know why I’m so brutal on myself."-Vincent Gallo
