There are tears. There's laughter. There's an unconscious thing happening between us as humans. There's so much about the brain that we don't understand. I believe everybody's empathic.

We can't automatically think about young women in makeup negatively. Sometimes a woman engages in these new forces and energies of beauty coming into her world. They can become tools. She's trying to express her femininity outwardly. I'm still learning too.

Any time you turn off and let someone else make any artistic decision for you, you make a mistake.

Art and life go together. I have to have a life filled with experiences to make art, and I have to have art around me to live well.
