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.

It's an amazing thing to be able to fall into the world of your childhood fantasy.

The most important thing is actually raising up children with a true and lasting burning sense of curiosity. I don't even know how they do it. Good parents are a marvel.

I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place.

I am very much in love with no one in particular.

I'm super-popular, so I had to pretend to be a loser, which was super-hard.

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