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

I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey.

When you birth a child, it's like a bloody giving of self to the creation of a life.

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.

I've fallen prey to my fair share of moments of the phobias of others and the way that that can become an attack.

My personal opinion is that truth, like honesty and non-harmfulness, often are at odds with one another.

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.
