You have to let the world speak to you and then you speak, you know, so I'm in that moment now where I'm finding the world's voice.

I'm not about trying to get and get and get. I feel good when I get, but I kind of feel better when I give.

It was not my dream to be an artist. How could it have been? I thought, artist, much like a leader, was something you either were or weren't. Never something you set out to be.

It's not longer 'Look what I can do, I can do it better then you.' It's just I am.

I think it's a mistake to work on success in career. I've worked on my passions obsessively. How can I say what I want to say more precisely than the last time I said it? Success is such an elusive concept. When you work for it, I think you get it in a way you might regret it.

I enjoy mediation. I think the artist's position is often to mend the things we feel are broken. Whether that's between two cultures or two thoughts. We're always trying to reach, trying to expand something.

I'm writing from a place of - a center of authenticity, somewhere that only I know how to write from.
