When I was young, it was an exciting time to be in New York.

Life is much larger than how we image it, always, but society can be constricting in ways.

Artists live in unknown spaces and give themselves over to following something unknown.

Sometimes your personal life is much more significant. Sometimes your work life is more significant. Friends and family, or sometimes the general population, take precedence.

Now, it is much more difficult for young people coming to New York. But also when you're young, you have more time to interact with one another, to discover yourself with people of your generation.

I'm not moving from an ideological standpoint. Sometimes I'm trying to make my life better. Sometimes I'm trying to make my life worse! I'm trying to find a happy medium that I can make some sense of.

I'm in general a nostalgic person, but I don't know if I'm nostalgic for the 80s!
