I struggled with that notion early in my career. 'I know this is funny but nobody is laughing.' This thought occurred for years.

I couldn't recommend more that people put themselves in a situation where they can see a lot of work that they admire, and for free.

In our culture right now, I want to take on this notion of what a singular success means. We think success is one thing, but it's actually a spectrum of where our life takes us.

I try to think up material that might apply to the subjects they are studying. How many mitochondria does it take to power a cell? One. Because mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. Not ready for prime time, that one.

What I write is emotionally honest and truthful as the human experience can be, to make people feel less alone, or at least that's the hope.

I just don't give off a great first impression.

There is no such thing as #1 in art.
