Am I nervous? Yeah. Am I scared? Sure. But I do this because I love it.
The butterfly does not look back upon its caterpillar self, either fondly or wistfully; it simply flies on.
I love monsters. If I go to a church, I'm more interested in the gargoyles than the saints. I really don't care much about the idea of normal - that's very abstract to me. I think that perfection is practically unattainable but imperfection is right at hand. So that's why I love monsters: because they represent a side of us we should actually embrace and celebrate.
In a world where we are so pragmatic and materialistic, fear is the only emotion that allows even a sophisticated person to believe in something beyond.
If you're not operating on an instinctive level, you're not an artist. . . . Reason over emotion is bullshit, absolute bullshit. . . We suffocate ourselves in rules. I find fantasy liberating.

When you're 20 years old and you're making points with volume and dynamism, it's a fantastic thing to do.
I don't know which I like best. I love the applause on the stage. But pictures are so fascinating - you reach many millions through them. And you make more money too.
When a violent minority that crosses color lines comes to believe that killing those you know or do not know is a reasonable solution to problems, we are in need of another vision.
