challenges video littles
I always did music, but music is an easier thing for me. Making videos and doing comedy things was more of a challenge, so I was more interested in that. Music is a little bit more automatic.
thinking
I just think that life is a constant experiment.
beautiful dark flying-cars
I love the whole futuristic landscape of dark, rainy neon, the mix of Eastern and Western cultures and the beautiful shots of the flying cars.
long good-times having-a-good-time
As long as I have a good time, the audience usually has a good time.
rocks band world
I was in punk rock bands, heavy metal bands, world music bands, jazz groups, any type of music that would take me. I just love music.
fun creativity lazy
Im pretty lazy when it comes to creativity. I just want it to be easy and fun.
doubt zoom when-in-doubt
When in doubt, zoom out.
race expression white
I guess, in a way, I grew up mixed race: half white, half black. That question's always been on my mind: 'What are you? Are you this or that? Are you a white dude or are you a black dude?' In a strange way, music and comedy is kind of the same thing. I'm both.They're just different modes of expression.
important common common-knowledge
Common knowledge, but important nonetheless
settling behavior possibility
The biggest fear that I have is settling into too many set behavior patterns, where I feel like I'm no longer exploring possibilities anymore.
thinking careers laughing
Not necessarily in the beginning, thinking I would have a career in comedy, but I was always interested in making people laugh.
creating acting important
The most important thing is to keep creating and following my inklings as they come into being and acting on them.
letting-go self training
Religions are the training wheels of self enlightenment. They can be helpful in the beginning but at some point they must be let go.
art pain emotional
If it's physical pain, you just deal with it the best way you can. But if it's more emotional, I don't know. I just try my best to feel it, take it in, and just allow myself to go through whatever may actually come from it. And then a certain amount of it, you can use to transform it through art, which is the healthy way of dealing with it, as well.
