I touch something three times. Sometimes I even get nervous when I say [or] do something two times and I’m like, I need to go back. … Everything is so calculated, it’s insane.“When it comes to thoughts, I have a fear of, ‘If I don’t do this three times, something bad is going to happen.’ And you really, really, truly believe it.
