The most important part of my practice as an artist has been remembering to stay humble. There is so much hurt, so much sorrow, so much pain in the world, and I think when you're born and bred into privilege, it's easier to have a closed perspective on things. But there's this opportunity that's open to all of us to let empathy connect us back to one another.

The token gay character is always so funny and so fantastic. That's happened a lot. Or they're often purely victims.

Sometimes it'll happen to people, that their self will stop coming through. And people will just cease to understand them.

I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders.

I was a cocky kid, and I felt like I was an adult at, like, 9. I think that's because my parents always treated me as an adult.

I genuinely think I have a hugging superpower. I'm starting to master the transformative hug. I have a strange memory ability. There's a lot of information that I don't cognitively know, but that seems to rise up at moments of need. That feels like a superpower. Something that nobody knows about me is that I discovered at a young age that I could sing in two tones. I don't do this in performance, because it's something very special to me. But I've learned that it's a practice that goes back far in time.

Life is a grand party.
