I've always been interested in how fast-moving our identity is and that I've never been able to pin down who I truly am. That inspires me to write, because I feel like that cements me a bit, in that I find my identity in being an artist.

I'm not really part of that 'L.A. thing' or that celebrity culture. I'm more like someone who observes it, and I can't ever imagine being like that.

I quite like dark humor.

That's when you know you really fit with someone - when you can just sit there and not do anything. Kind of ignoring each other.

I want to provoke people with thoughts, not by taking my clothes off. It's time to move on from Stripperville.

I don't want to live in real life. It's too harsh, too brutal.

Hollywood infected my brain and I really valued the wrong things in life, but I changed dramatically.
