I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.

I remember learning about the Holocaust when I was in kindergarten and being terrified. I think we even watched a graphic video about it in Jewish day school. Although I was quite young, I remember making these vows to myself such as, I'm never going to love my country so much that I can't leave in a moment's notice.

My family gets incredibly tense and stressed out around traveling. There's something really beautiful in that vulnerability.

There are times when folks will point out certain characteristics I have, like me being an interruptor, and attribute them to my Jewish identity.

I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.

Someone will say to me, Oh that's so Jewish to interrupt. I say to myself, okay, is that code for you hate Jews? Or am I just being paranoid?

So for me to actually have access to women, to feminist women, to gay people, to trans people, to intellectuals, iconoclasts, weirdos, academics, just the people who don't normally get marketed to, in some way I kinda hoped that if I could collect all of them, I could say, "Hey! Look over here! There are enough people who like my stuff." And it sorta has seemed to be true.
