"I just had dinner with my professor, he’s trying to help me get more focused."
“Focused how?”
“He thinks that all the extracurriculars I’m doing, like Student Government and things like that, are serving as a stalling tactic to keep me from figuring out what I really want to do.”

"What was the happiest moment of your life?"
“Well I can tell you a moment of really simple joy. I was squatting down in New Orleans, living off donations, and one day I was able to obtain ice, lemons, and sugar all at the same time. So I had lemonade for the entire day.”
“Why were you squatting in New Orleans?”
“It was right after Katrina hit. I was twenty years old, in the midst of a righteous political phase, and I didn’t really have plans for the summer. So I said: ‘Racist shyt is happening in New Orleans! I’ve got to get down there!’”

"My dad is being a huge a$$hole right now."
“How so?”
“He told me all I do is cost him money.”
“Do you mind if I share that?”
“I don’t care. I already did an art piece about it.”

"I’ve put in a lot of years behind prison walls. You get used to things when you’re in there. You get comfortable with people telling you what to do, when to get up, when to go to sleep. And when you get out, you don’t really know what to do with your freedom. They might not admit it, but most guys who come out are looking for a way back in."

"I’m learning to deal with negative feelings, like envy."
“What are you envious of?”
“Normal stuff. Women with more successful careers, things like that. I’m finding that if you try to resist your envy, it sticks around. But if you accept it as natural, and don’t judge yourself, it will pass, like a cloud.”

"I like to flip through old books to see if I can find any handwritten notes. Once I found one with a love note from 1917."

"What’s the most frightened you’ve ever been?"
“Mostly when I meet new people.”
“Why’s that?”
“I just always wonder if people are going to look at me normal and treat me normal.”
“Do they?”
“Most of the time. Sometimes strangers stare at me. But if I stare back, they usually look away.”
“If you could give one piece of advice, what would it be?”
“Be grateful for what you have. I always try to be grateful.”
“What are you most grateful for?”
“My family.”
