“I wasn’t hiding anything from anybody — I never hid anything from anybody,” he said. “I was always as true to me as I knew how to be. If I was fibbing to you, it’s because I was fibbing to me.”

“I didn’t want to ask myself that question or figure that out or learn how to deal with that, because to me it was antithetical to all that is okay,” he said. “A. You’re going to Hell for it. B. You’ll never have any friends again. C. What are you going to tell your family? And by the way, you’re on television on the craziest conservative network on earth. They’ll probably put you in front of a brick wall and mow you down. Of course none of that was true … that’s not how it was, but that’s how it felt.”

“And that’s why it wasn’t until seven, or eight, or nine years ago, that I started actually living my truth,” he continued. “Because I didn’t really know what it was.”

“I sort of kept my Mississippi/Ole Miss sensibilities about myself,” he said. “I didn’t [think] I had become something because I moved away from here. I think I was something because of the foundation I got here.”
