As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.

Summary

This quote indicates that the speaker experienced both anorexia and bulimia during their teenage years. Anorexia refers to a psychological and potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by the intense fear of gaining weight, resulting in self-imposed starvation and extreme weight loss. On the other hand, bulimia is also an eating disorder involving binge-eating episodes followed by compensatory behaviors to avoid weight gain, such as vomiting or excessive exercise. By mentioning both disorders, the quote suggests the individual's struggle with disordered eating habits and highlights the complex and challenging experiences they faced during their adolescence.

We all know that the theater and every play that comes to Broadway have within themselves, like the human being, the seed of self-destruction and the certainty of death. The thing is to see how long the theater, the play, and the human being can last in spite of themselves.
