People who are harder to love pose a challenge, and the challenge makes them easier to love. You're driven to love them. People who want their love easy don't really want love.

I have spent a lot of time in the art world, and I guess I do listen to how people speak. I'm interested in what they say and how they say it.

People who want their love easy don't really want love.

I love to be alone, I find it necessary, but I don't know if that's just how I am or if it's an essential ingredient to making, to art. Certainly on a practical level it is. But on the other hand, I think it's a myth that the creative inspiration is locked up inside the person and just needs a quiet space and the right "serious" brooding moment to get released.

My mother told me many stories about her childhood in Cuba. Living there had a profound impact on her and how she regards herself.

I guess I'm not really fond of just chit-chatting. I want to learn something and have an experience.

In short, I'm pretty suspicious of the idea that there's a real and true and authentic world, and then a bunch of false ones.
