A Quote by Genndy Tartakovsky

It took a lot of guts to change it and say 'I don't like the life that I'm living and I don't like the swimmer I am', so let's change it completely and say 'Look, I've got to learn to love myself'. And that's been a really hard thing to do because when you've done a performance that you're not proud of and the public and the media have criticized you.....people are really quick to make judgements so it was tough to say 'Well I don't care what you have to say. I'm going to do this for myself and if you don't like me after this, well then, it's too bad'.

Change for me was really hard because I had built myself up to be a certain kind of man my whole life, as men are where I come from.

My illness has changed me - I've always thought "life is short and I wanna make as much of it as I can," but I really don't have time to mess around.
