There doesn't seem to be a lot of stance from the outside of that world to disagree.

I learned to live in my own head. I learned to follow intuition and more than anything, I learned what was important to me.

I'm really bad at being nonviolent.

There's a big part of me that's atheist. There's a big part of me that's agnostic. And there's a big part of me that tends towards the mystic. The thing that I find is most important in all of that is to retain my sense of wonder and the idea that I don't actually know what's going to happen.

Being well-mannered and gracious and kind are things that I value really highly.

Some things are so sad that they have no name. I have tried to name them and I can't.

If you're with an agent and they don't like where your work is going - the pressure behind it is the pressure of the hierarchy which says "I know what I am talking about," which I find offensive.
