Even the news, to me, or newspapers, I have a hard time getting into it because it all sucks you into this negative, bad, there-is-no-hope side of it. ”

I think more things are becoming socially acceptable. I think that just by having more media, whether that's TV or Internet, we're able to see more things. ”
