Seducing ourselves, our own self-delusions, the things we think we want but we really don't. Advertising in America is when we are sold our own dreams and desires.

There's something that comes from mistakes. Maybe adventures involve treasure or something. I think the wrong turns are more important than the right ones. Most people don't go through life without making mistakes, but sometimes you meet someone who seems to hit all the marks. But they never seem to know very much. They have success and luck but no real wisdom.

It's so much healthier to acknowledge we're fluid and constantly in flux than to pretend to live in a universe where everything is fixed.

I believe our lives are important when we learn something and love. I really want to capture the meaning of experience.
