If there's one thing I've learned from traveling, it's that it is definitely more important how you are than where you are. You can say, 'Oh, I hate X city, I hate that country, or I prefer this city,' but it's a little bit up to you to find some kind of happiness.

I have a multicultural background, so I tend to have an open mind about things, and I find other cultures interesting.

I think that every person has many, many people inside of them. We change our personality depending on who we are talking to or what situation we are in.

In a lot of ways, I envy someone like Omar Sharif who lived in a hotel for decades.

Perhaps the itinerant upbringing my brothers and I had has something to do with my continued interest in perspectives different from my own.

To be an artist, you don't have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living. It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see and answering back, participating in life.

What art does is it makes you feel alive and makes you feel like you're connected.
