“The only thing you should have to do is find work you love to do. And I can’t imagine living without having loved a person. A man, in my case. It could be a woman, but whatever. I think, what I always tell kids when they get out of class and ask, “What should I do now?” I always say, “Keep a low overhead. You’re not going to make a lot of money.” And the next thing I say: “Don’t live with a person who doesn’t respect your work.” That’s the most important thing—that’s more important than the money thing. I think those two things are very valuable pieces of information.”
