I had found my friend Jesus again, and though I would definitely lose him and find him again, I realized that he’s more interested in people who know they are not perfect than people who think they are. I was always thinking that I was supposed to be this perfect person, but he was like, “I’m not building you for that—I’m building you to reach people. You can reach people I can’t. You talk to people I can’t talk to. You can tell them that loving themselves is the way to love God. Because when you do that you can love others.” (I wouldn’t start realizing the full truth of that until after SNL.)
