"I'm usually nervous to meet people that I admire because what if they're not cool or something?"

"I just want to help people."

"I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life."

"I can be a quite excitable person."

"Hey, I do my work. I live my life. My personal life has never affected anything before, but what does it matter? I can't control what people are going to say and do. It's never going to change how I live my life."

"It doesn't matter to me. I was someone who went to many different schools growing up. I learned very early on I didn't have the right pair of shoes, didn't have the right accent ... and there's just a point where you go, there are just those people in the world ad you should never worry about that."

"When you look at life, it could be a lot better. It's not good enough for me to just do well."

Our use of the term "nuts" is meant, as defined in Webster's, as a reference to an "eccentric" person. That's all. We do not mean to in any way denigrate or belittle anyone with mental illness. In fact, we take mental illness very seriously, which is why Mr. Cruise's ill-informed rant inspired us to create this website. We don't have anything personally against Mr. Cruise, either. We think he's a first-class actor and a humanitarian. We did used to worry that he was a misguided zealot, but that's all. Now we think he's a dangerous, misguided zealot.
