I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.

I wanted to stay hooked because it was the first time I've been part of the tradition where forgetting was just fine. You do it, you try, you forget, you fail.

So many things have happened to me in my life that I could be phobic about.

I don't take compliments so well. I always hang my head and shuffle and kind of try to immediately forget.

When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.

Being an artist is a totally godlike thing to do - and I have a god complex.

Gut level is a good level to deal with life, and for me, I have to say that Buddhism makes sense for me because it's how I'm an artist.
