I mainly let my imagination be my reality. Fantasy is my reality.

The act of surrendering sort of puts me in a different mindset that allows me to be more of a channel - because I'm not holding on so tightly to things, I'm letting go, and I find that in letting go I become more of a channel for life to really happen on life's terms. I mean, maybe that sounds sort of metaphysical, but that's honestly how I feel.

I think that plain old intellectualism [can be] a more powerful force than the idea of the femme fatale.

A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

People are really talkative in New York. Someone always comes up to me and says 'Hi' during the day.

It's not like I think my art is inspirations from icons strung together. They're just sort of people who others talk about. I am definitely interested in the masters of different genres, they're talented and popular for a reason.

I still have my same babysitting job, I babysit twice a week.
