If you're in fucking Wyoming somewhere, you might not have these people that you see.

You're so disconnected from a community, you might not know.

And then you're like, well, I got to give this art thing up and get a job because I got to pay bills because you just don't actually have the awareness.

That there is a pathway.

And this is the failure of the school system because it never teaches kids that are artists or people that have alternative ways of existing in society that there's ways to make a career.

I got kicked out of the only art class I ever took in high school.

No.

This motherfucker, we had to draw a shoe or something.

And I turned mine into like a robot because I didn't like how the shoe was turning out.

And he said, you have to draw a shoe or I'm failing you.

I'm going to kick you out of the class.

You have to draw a shoe.

And I'm just like, kick me out then.

And I knew like at 15, 16, that like art is what I decided is.

Nobody else can say what the fucking rules are.

Like this is for me to do.

And now I forget his fucking – I wish I knew.

I remembered his name.

I'm going to tell him to fuck off right now.

There's a lot of those guys that turn people off.
