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.

On the one hand, how many people do you need to love you before you feel OK about yourself?

Pray to your God, open your heart. Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark.

It's okay to stand on your own two feet and to be different, to be yourself.

I Lived on the street when i was a kid, i wasn’t even at school, so i had a whole different set of experiences for those formative years. I was gone… i was in a very precarious place when i was younger.

I really enjoy learning about other people and I'm really curious about other people.

I’ve always been interested in leaders and rule breakers and artists and politicians.
