Noteworthy Quote:
💬 "Please be full of yourself. Who else are you supposed to be full of? You are a creative spirit in a human body. Use the human body to write the story. Use the human body to make the art. You exist to create, so fucking run with it!"
💬 "Did you know that the average person has 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day, and once in a while, you get a real fucking banger. Like, you have an amazing thought, and you're like, holy crap. That's good. I should do something with that."
💬 “60,000 to 70000 thoughts a day... When you get that 1 that feels like you've been struck by lightning? GO. Do it! Do the thing.”
