I don't have a set of tenets but I live an ethical life. I practice a humility that presupposes there's a power greater than myself. And I always believe don't inflict harm where it's not necessary.
My mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven's mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person.
