I was talking and playing pranks and skipping school, failing pretty much every class I took.

I love devastating movies, documentaries and hummingbirds (yes, in that order).

In movies, you just see somebody close their eyes, and you go on to the next scene.

There's something a lot more self-conscious feeling when there's cameras coming in for close-ups. It makes you very aware.

I am just at tragedy right now.

As soon as I say I'm from Texas people say, "Oh, I'm sure the school was horrible" and they picture me wearing some barrel and suspenders and people are bucktoothed and ignoring me. But that's not the case. I just had zero interest. I wanted to finish my research in the woods or play guitar or go have a cigarette.

I worked at restaurants and coffee shops and babysitting and just whatever I could do to make money.
