The thing is, if you're going to take the artistic path, you sort of have to make peace with the idea or the possibility that you may never make any money or get any acknowledgment or accolades for what you're doing.

I'm learning how to have a healthy form of love, how to make it lasting rather than just have it be a flash in the pan.

Love is still something I'm learning about.

I think the biggest lesson is the common one that gets in the way of most of us as artists - there are these messages in society that if you aren't hitting certain metrics, then you're not successful and you're not valid.

As you get older, it's always a process of self-love, learning how to really do that for yourself instead of trying to find it outside yourself.

I am - since I was a child - curious about everything. I like to look at how things work and why people are the way they are.

I think what inspires me or what keeps me inspired is my curiosity.
