    “I'm sure it's in a Brené Brown book somewhere, but the best advice I've received is about making mental health a part of your life. That's why I say to make it your friend; you need to understand it, even if sometimes you don't know why you're feeling the way you do.”

Passing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
“I mentioned my love for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and how those portrayals aren't reflective of reality. Selena and I don't live in that world every day, although I have been in a facility; it wasn't as media portrays it.”
