WHY DO YOU DO IT? WHAT DRIVES YOU?
I never decided to do art or write or create. It was never a choice I made, rather it was decided for me in some cosmic way that it would be my compulsion upon birth. I am an obsessive writer and words uncontrollably spill out of my head. So I have to see where it will all go because I don’t know how to do anything else. The pay off is when my writing and performance art shocks people or makes them cry. That makes me feel like it’s worth it to keep going with it. I have an urge for people to see the anger and pain that I’ve always lived with, and when it can become art I’m relieved by that. It’s all extremely emotionally charged.
