“I love to make things because it makes me feel good. It makes me feel like a kid. When we're little kids we're all encouraged to be creative. Nobody laughs at a six year old who says they want to be an artist when they grow up any more than they laugh when a kid says they wanna be an astronaut, but as we grow up more and more people start to discourage our imagination. Parents and teachers tell kids they have to grow up and stop thinking they're going to be artists or singers or writers and they always tell them to have a "back-up plan." It just kills me to think of how many people grow up thinking they can't sing or they can't draw or they can't write because they aren't singers or artists or authors. You become a singer when you sing, you become an artist when you make art, and you become an author when you write. ”
