“I have days where I am and days where I’m not. I don’t think anyone has a solid stance on any way that they feel. It’s like saying, “Are you happy everyday?” Sometimes it feels absolutely stifling and overwhelming to be honest with you. But most of the time I’m able to go through the mental exercise where I just say to myself, “How many years did you want this? How many years did you dream about this? How many times did you say to yourself that if you ever got famous you would walk up to people in restaurants and introduce yourself if they were trying to take a picture of you?” I would also say, when I was a little kid, that I would make the most of it and would try to do good things with it and I wouldn’t be all weird and affected by it. It’s not a normal life, it’s only honest that I admit that to myself, but there are ways that I can still act normal amongst all of it.”
