Whatever it is that you do in your life, you're your own guide.

I think we should be passionately curious about what we do.

Even with mental health as well as physical health, it's about taking responsibility and knowing that you're part of the solution always.

I felt I had to share Idaho with my friend from New York because he'd shared New York with me, so I was going to share the beauty of nature with a man who went to museums and clubs late at night. But there was nothing to do where I lived at night.

Maybe in any art you have to be wholly you in the context of whatever you're doing.

The prevalence of mental illness compels me to give it - and the people suffering from it - a voice.

Since I come from a family of mental instability, and I have suffered depression myself, I knew that living in shame is senseless and painful, and that by talking about it, I have come to peace with it. The stigma behind people's suffering needs to end. We as a community need to embrace these disorders, try to understand them (if only just to talk about them) so that we can cease being defined by them.
