The most important thing is to be proud of the work that you put into something, and put the ego aside.

I think there's an energy about just remaining excited. Like, you can't be excited when you're not doing something new.

I think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.

We're all going to change. Otherwise, it's boring. Who wants to stay the damn same all their life?
