“I'm just really not good at being like anybody else or writing like anybody else.”
“Sometimes we get so focused on the results that we miss doing it - we miss the adventure of being in the midst of something because we're looking too far ahead.”
“Both with songwriting and playing a role, you're delivering the truth of something in a moment. In a lot of ways, it's the same thing.”
“If you're gonna steal from somebody, why not Shakespeare?”
“As a musician, you kinda get used to failure in life, and then when things actually start succeeding, it's a very interesting feeling.”
“I was a very quiet kid who didn't feel normal being outgoing and running around, so all the beauty that was in my life, I found in books. Books that made me think and transported me into a different world.”
“I look to films to learn and to see different avenues that you can take in growing up.”
“I want to have a long career, so I'm fine with it growing slowly.”
“When you have goals and dreams and things that you've been wanting your whole life, and then they actually start happening and you start checking things off your list, it's like, whaaat? Huhhh?”
“If I'm in a social situation where I'm triggered, I go into the bathroom and move and shake and breathe.”
“My architectural education is way, way incomplete, but if you're in a beautifully designed space, it can change the way you see and the way you feel. The same way great movies and great music can immerse you, so can a space.”
“My parents were acting teachers, but I was a bookworm who was passionate about music.”
“I think I had a lot of fear, even when I was really young, that I was going to be seen as something that I didn't want to be. I didn't really know how to be myself well enough to be comfortable being someone else.”
“With music, every decision you make is a reflection on who you are - I'll obsess over the color palette for a record and the promo materials. With acting, it's not just your ideas. You're one part of a working machine.”
“I'm, like, the most insane Wes Anderson fan - his films are pretty much my inner landscapes. I just love him to pieces.”
“My heart gets tight and it's almost like my soul gets congested if I'm not making music.”
“It seems to me, personally, that the things that are great during Christmastime are magnified. Like everything is that much better. Everything is magical and spectacular. The things that are wrong or sad are just so much more wrong or sad.”
“Fear seems like it's this physical thing - some monster - but it's just energy.”
“There's something about a long, high-waisted skirt and little, buttoned blouse that I really love.”
“A boy I adored when I was 19 gave me the 'Emigrante' album by Orishas. Definitely not my normal taste, but I still kind of love it.”
