A lot of our family was undocumented. My mom and dad were both super conservative. My dad had a green card; my mom was an Eisenhower Republican who did not approve of all the 'illegal people.'

I'm interested in the eternal soul. That's what I write about.

I'm always trying to, using literature, subvert people's responses.

After two years of doing one show, you do get attached to everyone.

It's been really fun to see what happens to my body when I don't have an instrument attached to it.
