I Went To A School That Was Founded On A Lot Of Very Radical Ideals Of How Education Should Be Changed. But What's Happening To Schools Like That Sort Of All Over The Country Is In Economic Pressure They're Becoming More And More Preparatory Because That's What People Will Really Pay The Money For Private Schooling For Now.

The Most Important Part Of My Practice As An Artist Has Been Remembering To Stay Humble. There Is So Much Hurt, So Much Sorrow, So Much Pain In The World, And I Think When You're Born And Bred Into Privilege, It's Easier To Have A Closed Perspective On Things. But There's This Opportunity That's Open To All Of Us To Let Empathy Connect Us Back To One Another.

The No. 1 Thing The People I Have Spent Time With In My Life Have Done For Fun Is Playing Music.
