Don't you just want to make something that lives forever? Something that's phenomenal, something that's great, something that's undeniable? That touches the core of every person that hears it?

It's nice to be able to communicate digitally with people around the world.

When advertising is great, it's transcendent. It's art.

I come from a visual background, and I grew up around a lot of hippies and artists. My mom and my brother and I moved around a lot. We basically moved every couple of years, and I went to a lot of different schools. But creativity, for us, was always a way of life. It was never a job. Being an artist was a passion and a way of life.

PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN YOU ARE FULL OF DOUBT AND IT ALL SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THERE IS STILL SOME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU, ME. XO

I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater. Just having the art-communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn't a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn't try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.

My mother is very, very smart and commands respect because she has a lot of respect for herself.
