"I think that just because you feel uncertain or stressed or anxious about something something is like inherently wrong with you and you should eradicate those feelings at all costs. I think it's very negative," he says. "A feeling is an opportunity to explore why you're having this feeling, why are you having anxiety?" He adds: "You have to be able to allow yourself to have anger which a lot of people don't."
