You're not going to be perfect, you're not going to stop berating yourself, you're not going to stop the comparisons, you're not going to stop the judgment, but you can become evermore mindful of it, and that has to be good enough.

I think it's so important to have a practice, because the consciousness isn't perfection or enlightenment or any of that bullshit. The consciousness is, "Oh, I'm walking down the street and I'm doing nothing."

I'm bisexual, but it's not the sort of thing I spent a lot of time thinking about. I've slept with girls; I've slept with guys, so I guess that's what they call it! I'm not anti trying to use language to simplify our lives.

I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.

On many days, harder than the act of making the art itself is the act of sharing it and living in a culture that you know is built to tear you down.

I want to be happy. i want to make people happy. i do not need to be rich to do that.

You are an artist when you make someone feel something deep and unexpected.
