I'm a massive fan of David Lynch and 'Twin Peaks.'

If you want the world to pay for projects, you have to be able to display why you're worthy.

The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist

The pattern's laid out on the bed With dozens of colors of thread But you've got the needle I guess that's the point in the end

How you sound. How you look. Are you fat? Those are things that could be really irritating.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.

There’s no “correct path” to becoming a real artist. You might think you’ll gain legitimacy by going to university, getting published, getting signed to a record label. But it’s all bullshit, and it’s all in your head. You’re an artist when you say you are. And you’re a good artist when you make somebody else experience or feel something deep or unexpected.
