When I was a kid, everywhere I went people said I should be a model, but I was more into skateboarding.

Modeling's terrifying to a lot of people. Standing in front of a camera is terrifying. I like a challenge.

And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks.

I don't care about age very much. I think back to the old people I knew when I was growing up, and they always seemed larger than life.

Nirvana is where you are, provided you don't object to it.

The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.

Im not this tortured soul or anything.

It's the moon that makes it so still, weaving some mystery.
