I feel like the downfall of any person is the second an artist starts celebrating their work themselves, that becomes problematic. And you know, I don't sit there, I don't bask in the awards I've won, you know, read my bank statements, I refuse. To me, that's how you start losing the hunger. So for me personally, I just don't celebrate it. I'm happy, right now.

It's a funny word, persistence. It means not giving up, but it also means just passing on through time.

I don't have friends, and it's hard for me to make new friends. Right now, the people that are in my life are the people that I work with.

Half the time, my job is basically to talk people off the ledge. It's more psychological than just me picking up some sticks and counting, "1, 2, 3, 4."

When you first start off, you see what other people have and quietly say, "I want that."
