If you are talented, you can really do anything. And if your heart is at the right place and you have the passion for it, you can go for it and do it.

I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do. Don't beat yourself up about it.

I'm not white-picket-fence perfect.

I like to dream, but I like to make things happen.

Don't carry logs into the forest.

I love being vulnerable. It's scary. I feel like the best stuff that I have ever written can come from real vulnerable places.

In art, there is neither past nor future. The art that is not in the present will never be.
