Several quotes from this episode:
- “It just all kind of comes out of me. I’ll have an idea and I just say, ‘What will happen if I try that?’ and that’s really kind of been my whole life.”
- “Whether it’s something having to do with looking at the journey of cancer, or it has to do with drawing silly, you know, like a dinosaur’s giving a heart to a unicorn on a mug, it’s just all having to do with reflecting connection…that’s just where it all comes from within me.”
- “Whatever we are, is enough.”
- “You want to do this thing with your life, do it. Things are always holding us back and we always say, ‘If I could just this, then I could that.’”
- “My life, my work, it all comes from the same place.”
- “You stare down death and you honestly say, ‘I’m going to say what I have to say and my voice matters and I know people will resonate with it.’”
