What I find very attractive, what I find sexual, are people who are unapologetic for who they are and comfortable with themselves.

During those years I passed through such unbearable terror that I deteriorated into a wild, frightened creature intent only on survival. And I survived.

The asylum itself was a steel trap, and I was not released from its jaws alive and victorious. I crawled out mutilated, whimpering and terribly alone. But I did survive.
