Finding real friends - that's something that was an obstacle for me. And learning how to deal with my problems and talking about them.
I just feel so fortunate, A, that I'm able to talk to people and B, keep in contact with my real friends.
I have very few real friends because I don't really feel like I fit in with a lot of people.
People always say, and my family has said it to me, that you know who your real friends are when you're at your lowest point and you don't have a job or whatever.
At a young age, I was very aware I was different and not perceived in a good way. For a lot of my adolescence, I struggled with that, trying to identify where I belong and who my real friends are.
We and others have done a bunch of work to show that if your real friends online say or do something, it affects you. But if your acquaintances online say or do something, it does not. People on average have about 106 Facebook friends, but only 5 or 6 real friends.
I'd like to get back to my family and friends - believe it or not, I do have some real friends.
I wouldn't wish overnight success on anyone. You have no real friends. Everyone works endless hours at different studios, so far apart. Even on your own lot, relationships were formal and often competitive.
The only good thing about times of adversity is that you realize who your real friends and fans are - and the rest go away - which in my mind is an OK thing.
In life, usually, even if you live in a big city, you can count on your fingers on one hand how many real friends you have; that's human.
