If I simply do what I've always done, it's never failed me.

It would nice to live in a world where art can just be art!

When you're an artist, nobody ever tells you or hits you with the magic wand of legitimacy. You have to hit your own head with your own handmade wand. And you feel stupid doing it.

Sometimes I have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus, but from being untouchable.

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 had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.

There's a fundamental disconnection in society in the way we live, this way we live that we take so for granted, and we've become very separate from one another and we don't really take lot of time to realize that. And the math is overwhelming to the point of despair, but the answers could be so simple.
