I've so much left to explore, it's enormously exciting to me. It's a passion. I just try and get better at what I do, and I study it very hard, like it is my life degree.

Never settle for anything less than you want.

You know if I see a work that really I am very affected by and inspired by then it makes me want to try things with my work that maybe I hadn't considered trying before and I think that is the biggest complement that you can pay somebody.

I'm always writing, the past 10 years. A lot has changed, in that it's something I do every day.

If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.

It's so much in me to want to keep experimenting all the time. It's just inherent.

At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.
