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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
