Interview...

zaksmith:

Are there any rituals you have when you do art?

Fuck no. I don’t have time for that shit and no real artist does. Pretty is far too harsh a mistress to dick around with cutting the crusts off your peanut butter sandwiches or praying to the four winds or lighting a candle to the ghost of Frida Kahlo—you get up, get the headphones on, make sure you have enough to drink and sit down and put in the hours. Rituals are for rich kids who are more in love with being an artist than making the art.
