Sometimes you divorce a part of yourself to save yourself emotionally.

If I want to do something in the TV industry, I should be allowed to explore that, but not in a way where it has to cancel out or ruin my visual art career.

Every artist's world is an individual experience and no one thing can prepare you. You have to go in and go where those roles lead you - just allow it to happen and follow your path.

Sometimes I just cringe. I can feel the emotion, that whole anxiety of being in this new world that I sort of evolved into. I would just do it, put it out there, and go for it.

As artists, sometimes our work is chaotic; we don't easily communicate our needs to other people in a way that they understand.

If you want to be somewhere, you should go to that place and check it out.

Despair? I don't despair. I have never once in my life despaired anything. I make a point not to go further than resignation.

Those times when someone you thought was your friend talks about you behind your back really hurt. Even if you act like you don't care, deep inside, you care.

I would say I started rapping because my friends were doin it.

Satan must be defeated in the arena he dominates, this world. So Christ was sent into this world to destroy Satan's works.

Book learning, or intelligence of one sort, doesn't guarantee you intelligence of another sort.You can behave just as stupidly with a good college education.

Strive not with your superiors in argument, but always submit your judgment to others with modesty.

I'm pretty sure I ate ants in Mexico.
