I've been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it's rare.

I've always been a very rebellious, philosophical person, so my mother set the foundation for my appreciation for nature and my empathy for other people. But then, being a sort of rebellious, philosophical thinker, I'm always looking for new ways to shake things up. So I feel like I'm really lucky to be alive in a time where there's so much opportunity to disrupt and shake it up. It's sort of a combination between that and having the foundation that my mother gave me.

The future of cinema and communications is all about collaboration and the decentralized control of storytelling. We're all part of the story; we can all contribute and participate.

Everything I do, it's all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.

Once you get into the habit of work, you can be more productive in the things you want to do.

I think you can find a lot of joy and inspiration through food. I think when you find depression and sadness and hopelessness, many times it's connected to certain food and access to quality and nutrition.

I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.
