Like all these things, there’s a kernel of truth. You just amp up the volume. People think I might be like that, but I don’t really care. The only thing that ultimately matters to me is that I can do my job and that the people in my life know what I’m like and who I am. I would rather that people get me wrong and misunderstand me than know who I am. I’m happy to have people be misinformed so that I have my privacy, even if that means that some people think I’m an asshole.
