For me, possibility, progress, growth, those things are very.. they feel very good. It doesn't usually come with negativity. I don't really mind sucking at something as long as I'm getting a little bit better at it along the way.

My family was fine, it's just a different way of going about life. Creativity was not something that was isolated and identified and valued.

moving school law
When I dropped out [from a law school], everybody was disappointed. But I found that disappointing people is a good thing, because disapproval is freedom.

hopeful retrospect infinite
In retrospect, everything is finite, but prospectively, there are infinite possibilities. I guess that's what makes life hopeful.
