I like people-watching and getting inspiration from the unique people who dont follow any fashion tides. From 12-year-olds who have full freedom, to 86-year-old ladies with a ton of class.

I have a weakness for buttons. I'm always collecting ornate and nicely decorated ones.

I had been taking acting classes on and off while I was modeling, so I always had a dream to be in a film.

Traveling for modeling has been great, but I never really have much time to live the tourist life while in all the different cities.

I actually wanted to become a model agent, and went into what ended up becoming my first agency for a job interview. They ended up suggesting I model instead. I guess I sort of fell into it.

I never thought about acting before I started modeling, but since then I've been in short films and music videos, and I got interested. It felt natural to switch over.

And to 'scape stormy days, I choose an everlasting night.

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

The more we love, the nearer we are to hate.

Making art, I try to just gently persist, instead of having freak-outs where I'm like, Oh, my god, I'll never draw again. You are going to draw again, so you might as well relax.

Luminous, unfearful; high-priestesses, our fervour shall banish all evil.

My father worked at the Naval Ordnance Lab, and they had a nine-hole course on the property. You paid a quarter.

PayPal once rejected a candidate who aced all the engineering tests because for fun, the guy said that he liked to play hoops. That single sentence lost him the job.

If you want to be a photographer, first leave home

I'm not one of these people that needs to feel loved. I don't need to see my picture everywhere.

It is impossible to go as high as you are capable of going, if you are carrying the burden of hate, revenge and bitterness.
