"I’m a therapist and a social worker. I specialize in trauma-informed care."
“What frustrates you most about your work?”
“Probably the stigma that society attaches to mental illness. Neurobiological diseases are often viewed as a step below physiological diseases, like diabetes. The stigma can be very harmful to patients.”

She had three books in her hand: ‘Growing Up’ by Russell Baker, ‘Queer Eye for A Straight Guy,’ and ‘Romantic Weekend Getaways.’
“This one’s for me,” she explained. “And this one’s for a friend.”
“And what about ‘Romantic Weekend Getaways?’”
“It’s on sale. And I figure I could use it one day.”

"What surprised you most about America?"
"People don’t stare as much as I thought they would. But even if they do stare, that means you’re doing something different. And that’s a good thing, right?"

"We met at a comic book store."
“Do you just read comic books, or do you write them?”
“We write them.”
“Have you ever written one together?”
“That’s coming next. It’s in the works.”
“What’s it about?”
“Can’t tell you. It’s not good to talk about what you’re going to create. You should be saving that energy for the actual creating.”

"What’s your greatest struggle right now?"
“Trying not to take on everyone else’s shit so I can relax for a second.”

"Old people say they love their children, but they send their children to war. Old people never fight in wars. But they always start them. If they really loved their children, old people would find a way to resolve their problems.”

“I videotape everything I see. I’ve got 1100 videos on my YouTube channel. I’ve got the full Macy’s Parade, the full Greek Parade, the full Puerto Rican Day Parade, all in HD. I even filmed the whole Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum. You can save $29 because I’ve got the whole thing on video.”

“What was the happiest moment of your life?”
“When I proposed to my wife.”
“How’d you do it?”
“Well, the first time we ever met, we played Clue with another couple. So when I was ready to propose, I set up a game with the same couple who introduced us. Then I put the proposal in the envelope where the final answer normally is. The funniest part is, when she opened it, she said: ‘Wait. Does this mean I didn’t win the game?’”
