The women in my family are just strong women who do their own thing, so I knew I needed to have individuals like that.

I'm always looking for people to feel connected to me and inspired in their own right.

I grew up always wanting to be a dancer and when I went to New York, I fell in love with the idea of performing in all ways.

My mom is one, but there have been performers in my family since as long as we can trace them back, so I think it was kind of inevitable to be artistic and to have a force. We're leaders; we're a family of leaders, so I think it's just part of my genes.

You need to have honest things in the world. Even if people don't understand it, if it's coming from you, that's already important.

Because of the time we're in, it's so easy to just blend all of it together and it's kind of like you're listening to everything all at once.

That experience of being in the wild in a place where life initially began for all creatures gave me a overwhelming sense of connection.
