“Everybody's sort of trying to find their way. And like I said, I do think that self-expression, it's either gonna go creative, or go disruptive depending on what we do with it. I do think that that's important. I think that the thing, the single thing that should drive any individual's decision of sort of like, where to go with that, is that you have to go towards something that you can be completely honest, I mean, brutally honest, in your doing of it, and a lot of people are uncomfortable, being very, very, very honest, in the  written word or the spoken word, because we've been chastised for that all of our lives” ~ Hannah Pralle ~
