I've learned that I need to learn how to direct without making the person distracted and keeping them comfortable, and pay more attention to lighting.

You can dwell on things, and if you open your eyes and pay attention to it, those things start popping up around you.

I almost feel like if I didn't have the gallery and museum content it would be easy to get lost. People's attention spans are so short; they see something and it trends for a few days and then it goes away and something else comes.

Even though the art world goes through trends, you do know that it'll come up again.

When you get a critique, people think you're criticizing them but it's really an intellectual conversation. You can't get emotionally attached.

I guess I cringe, because sometimes I don't even watch my live performances back. When I edit, it's this feeling of seeing my mistakes. It's always a mixture of loving characters, but being the artist that created it and not trying to go too deep in criticizing myself.

I think I'm aware of entering my late 30s versus being in my late 20s, when the web was coming out as this new thing. It reminds me of how people used to tell me about my great-grandmother and how they used to gather around a radio listening to soap operas.
