The higher your profile, the more people want you.

Your mates are the people who have been around 10 years or more.

If you want your dream more than you have to have people's affirmation, that's how you break through your border bullies.

Drag is really about reminding people that you are more than you think you are - you are more than what it says on your passport.

The more you think about and interact with other people, the more you realize that it is untenable to privilege your interests over theirs.
