For me, there are two types of people: the young and the experienced.
When it comes to relationships, I think I'm pretty experienced - you'd be surprised.
I never reflect or convey that which I have not experienced myself.
I love Maira Kalman. She's an amazing illustrator and writer. I've loved her since I was in college, but when I moved to New York and experienced the same city she was drawing and writing about, I developed a whole new appreciation. Her work made me observe everything so much deeper and more joyfully.
It is something you can't quite explain unless you have experienced it. There is that difference when you pull on a Liverpool shirt.
It's been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I've experienced.
In theory, parents are supposed to empathize with one other - find common cause in the fervent desire to preserve and protect the world for the next generation, and connect on some deep, almost mystical level that those poor souls who have not experienced this kind of all-consuming love cannot possibly comprehend.
It hasn't always been a sweet ride. When I was 15, I almost hated racing in finals because I was so nervous. But as I got more experienced, I had to choose between fight and flight - and I've fought every time.
I'm not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.
I use color in terms of emotional quality, as a vehicle for feeling... feeling is everything I have experienced or thought.
