I pray, but who I pray to I'm not exactly sure, especially when I'm praying for more money.

For a long time religion made me feel guilty for being involved in music. Growing up, the religion I grew up in, the Church of Christ, encouraged a capella, but didn't allow musical instruments, so even though my parents allowed me to play trumpet in the band, and I was pretty good at it, it had this baggage.

Making art, I try to just gently persist, instead of having freak-outs where I'm like, Oh, my god, I'll never draw again. You are going to draw again, so you might as well relax.

People like being alike, joining up, and being part of something.

I notice inspiration when it comes by. I don't sit down at my desk and try to write.

Don’t worry about a style. It will creep up on you and eventually you will have to undo it in order to go further.
