allow guess involved knew music violin
I guess as a kid, I was always creative, and I was involved in music, like piano and violin and choir, so I always knew - I always knew that I wanted to do something that would allow me to be who I am. Generally, that was creatively, imaginatively.
art force hard places
If you have something you do that's unique, you just end up in situations. Your art can take you to places without you working too hard to force something to happen.
I'm doing the kind of show that I would want to see.
good
In theater, they say a theater piece is only as good as its transitions.
art broad leaves type uncertain
I mean, the type of art that I enjoy is art that - I enjoy a very broad spectrum, but I especially like art that leaves me a little confused and uncertain as to what just happened.
giving understanding world
Science gives you an understanding of the physical world, and it increases the capacity for fascination.
art school thinking
In general, I'm in support of promoting art and science in public schools. I think music and science are probably the most important factors for the human brain developing. Even more so than any other fields, because music covers mathematics, cognitive reasoning, motor skills, coordination, like, it's kind of everything.
kind
I'm just kind of interested in focusing on what I'm interested in and just kind of solidifying it, or at least experimenting, or actualizing some of the experiments that I've had in my head for years, either filmicly or with audio.
taking-pictures
I've been taking pictures of wherever I go, or on planes, whatever.
people decision world
I guess I'm interested in people and society and what we do collectively in the realm of decisions that shape our world. You know, at least on a human level.
encouragement art reflection
Obviously, there's all sorts of life happening all around us, but on a human level, I'm just interested in people making informed decisions. You know, increasing their awareness. And also, trying to encourage people to be more fascinated with information and science and knowledge of all sorts, instead of, you know, it's a generalization, but the encouragement by society, the reflections that society gives us, which is media, television, art - anything, really.
memories moments exciting
When you look at a photo twenty years from now, if you look at a photo of a moment in your life, or some friends, or yourself, you just have a lot more information about what that memory was. That's exciting to me. It's like a form of time preservation, I suppose.
art pain past
In the past, I was definitely more apt to storing pain away and not worrying about it. But as I get older, it's really about figuring out how to process it, how to feel it, and then also how to use it in my art.
who-i-am dresses crisps
I'm not into looking crisp. That's not how I dress or who I am.
