I think I'm very real as a person, and that comes across in my work.
Sometimes life will make you give up what you love most.
I try to give people hope. Even though life is bleak, there's hope out there.
There's no style, nobody dresses up-you can't be chic [in San Francisco]
Who doesn't need hope in their lives: hope that something can change, that someone cares, that not only bad things happen unexpectedly but good things can happen to us too?
That is what touches me most. When somebody says: you really made a difference.
