school kids concentration-of-wealth
New Jersey was actually a very cold place. There was such an intense concentration of wealth, and such a low concentration of any actual human happiness. A lot of people seem to be similar to the kid in school, which is doing a lot of things with no direct consequence to their joy, or their lives.
school kids world
I always was very interested in intellect and the massive world of knowledge out there, but in terms of being a kid who wanted to be treated as an equal, school is not the place.
gay reality thinking
I’ve had many, you know, happy ending sleepovers’in my early youth — my period of exploration. I think that’s essential. Anyone who hasn’t had a gay moment is probably trying to avoid some confrontation with a reality in their life.
hands textiles research
I guess the big thing is that I don't buy anything first-hand. It's a personal policy I have for all sorts of reasons. If you research to the textile industry yourself, you'll know why. I came to it personally.
block ego roles
If one took a role with the intention of, "I'll show them what I can do!," then it's not going to be good because the ego is going to just block everything.
school tests grades
There's no true value placed in learning, if the point of you learning something is to simply know it for a test, to get a grade, to go to the good school.
art dies before-i-die
I'd like to make as much art as I possibly can before I die, so I'm working on a few things.
being-the-best outcast packs
Getting socially outcast can be the best and most informative thing that can ever happen to you because you have to learn who you are separate from the pack.
art important acting
Acting and making art is just something I love to do, and I love to tell stories that feel important, honest and necessary. It's not about me. It's about being part of something.
world ranking different
Everybody feels like an outcast because the world is so large and every fingerprint is so vastly different from one another, and yet we have these standards and beliefs, and dogmatic systems of judgment and ranking, in almost all the societies of the world.
thinking play long
I think a lot of people are projecting their own troubles and fears concerning sexuality onto those around them, and it does result in the perpetuation of a lot of hateful notions. As long as I can remember, I've felt really horrified watching those dynamics play out.
fall childhood world
It's an amazing thing to be able to fall into the world of your childhood fantasy.
mean long choices
We’re not living in an age of no hope. We are living in the age of choice, which is much scarier. It means that what we do every day matters, which is always a bummer for humans. But it’s a great thing and it’s inspirational and we need to remember that. We have a long way to go and not a long time to get there.
particular
I am very much in love with no one in particular.
