Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

Augusten Burroughs
I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now.

It's like, 'Oh yeah, I can see where people might want to to hear some of this stuff that didn't make it onto the records.'

If there's no point, then there's no point giving up.
If I had a message to give my dad, it'd probably be, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you.' He's helped me so much on this crazy journey. Giving up his job, being away from my mom, and being away from home for that much just because of me? It's a lot. And I thank him for it.
