Put your hands up and cheer for yourselves! You are strong, you are brave, you are confident, and I f*ing love you, Israel.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

You are equally important to me, and I love you all.

I'm encouraging you to know what you're worth. And know that no matter who has more money in class, who has more stuff, who has a country house - nobody is worth more than anybody else.

I feel that if I can show my demise artistically to the public, I can somehow cure my own legend.

An artist is the only thing I want to be. I only want my freedom and my creativity. It's all that I live for. I reject the idea that I have to take all the costumes and makeup off to be f - king authentic.

Making ziti for the Chicago Fire Department! I hope they're not too busy today, but this should fill their bellies I hope they like it!
