“Sometimes better not to know how you do what you do. It becomes self-aware, and that’s no good. Ultimately it’s about trying to bottle the subconscious, so if it becomes too conscious it defeats the purpose. All you can hope for is at least a couple of moments when it happens. I think when things really work, when people really feel like they’re seeing something special, it’s usually because they feel like they’re seeing something that they’re not meant to.”

Or if I want to, and it ended up being so necessary in much the way that I said to you – the mirroring my own life. It’s very dark and yet I found joy in it.”

“I don’t represent anybody except this organism that I happen to be. I have a love for Guatemala, a love for my family there, a love for a place that I was born, a place where my mother was born. For Cuba, as well. But, yeah, I’m always wary of people that say they speak for a large group of people because I’m always like: ‘Really? How do you know?’ To speak for a group of people is not something I’ve ever felt comfortable doing.”
