Summary

This quote suggests that madness, or what may be perceived as irrational behavior, can be a rational response to the chaotic nature of the world. It implies that within a world that is filled with craziness, confusion, and absurdity, maintaining sanity could potentially be an unrealistic or even unnatural expectation. Madness may be seen as a coping mechanism or a means of asserting individuality and sanity in the face of an overwhelmingly insane reality.

I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to.

Women have a lot of power in private life. There are many men who would say, 'Hey, women already rule my life.' But with women, more is more. The more there are, the more the world gets used to seeing them. We change the culture. We begin to expand options and lead and manage.
