“Showing what it feels like and the emotional journey of trying to appeal to the humanity of someone who's also trapped in the system, who if they feel like they tap too much into their humanity, then they're going to lose their job. It is anguish, it is a tragedy.”

“I think multiple things can be true at the same time. Someone can be menacing and villainous and awful, but also we can feel for them.”

“A lot of the work that I'm interested in taps into childhood, because it's just such a period where the imagination can be what it is. It's where I feel I was truly formed.”

“Hmmm. I think a lot of people can write poems that are howls of anguish. I think I've probably written such things and then torn them up.”

“I was at business school doing pretty well for myself, had a few offers from some great companies. But when I traveled across the world, I was shocked by just how much pain, struggle, and anguish people had to go through to have basic necessities.”

“I've always felt like I needed to experience some type of anguish in order to feel productive as an artist.”
