On whether or not hes having an existential crisis:I dont have a crisis anymore.

I know I dont exist.

One of his self-actualization metaphors:I see what is presented to me on a little screen.

That works within the boundaries of that proscenium.

Im the whole thing, man.

Im the theater, not the proscenium.

So when I remember that, Im free.

On creative people:Were magical, we create magic.

To get to that place where everythings going to be all right.

Were addicted to unfinished-ness.

Even thats going to turn into something glorious if you stick with it.

On nervous breakdowns:I dont believe in nervous breakdowns.

I believe in nervousbreakthroughs.

You dont get to the next level without having a breakthrough.

And its usually the eruption of honesty.

And what an incredible place to be as an artist.
