When you start putting pen to paper, you see a side of your personal truth that doesn't otherwise reveal itself in conversation or thought.

I think dying is the ultimate high...

I stopped hating and started just being. My whole life, I had been the most defensive person you'd meet, unable to tolerate any criticism. But now I started listening and being.

I think people that have fear that, 'Oh if I have a kid I won't be able to do this and I won't be able to do that.' It's kind of the opposite. It really gives you energy. It makes people better.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
