When I was in my twenties, I made a lot of bad, amateurish things. I made a ton of zines, I played in punk bands, I tried painting, I started a theatre company and forced my friends who were not actors to act in my awful shows. The important thing for me was the act of doing. For some reason, I had no fear. I had way more confidence than I should have. I have this notion that a lot of the best art is made by young people during this period of relative ignorance; you’re too young to know it’s silly to even try. I listen to the records Miles Davis made when he was nineteen or twenty. It’s that fearlessness that still stings.
