If everything means nothing, that means that everything means everything. Every moment is super important and the only moment that really matters is this one and this one and this one and this one. Yes, and forever and always.

I think when I conceptualize of awe I think of this as a very internal experience that it's something that I am stepping into within myself appreciating other things. Where does that shift come in to make it also about connecting with the external? It comes in because our sense of self, some people call it the egoic self, becomes smaller when we access the emotion of awe - so imagine yourself going into the emotion of awe and connecting with a timeless vast expansive place and what happens to you as you connect and your sense of self your sense of the world expands expands expands.

There are people who I work with who are not on the creative team. Does that mean they're not creative? No, but I think sometimes they forget that they are because they don't have that label.

I was really good in math growing up and it's like I went into the arts but it's like I wish someone had, I mean allow me more freedom within mathematics to like... to really, I think at the time as a kid, you kind of think these mathematical equations, they're fixed and they're unchanging, and you can be really good at systematically solving these problems. But I was never really creatively thinking about it, even though I'm pretty sure I would have had the potential to do it, somebody would have said to me, like, you can create new formulas for things.

People out there, if there's nothing else that you take from me being here, you should try therapy if you haven't before, because it is the most amazing thing that I ever did for myself.

The ego wants us to be hard on ourselves and not take care of ourselves and focus on everybody else. And not even in a loving way - it's just like what did they think of me what does this person want from me what can I do for them in order to receive this? Letting the ego go has been probably the biggest and hardest part of this journey because the ego loves suffering.

I love seeing how artists individually like interpret each card. Some artists like to do their own versions of like the Rider Waite deck but then other artists will design the card in a way that kind of like either semi-alters or expands on the meaning of the card and I

love that because I can be pulled to a certain deck for a certain reading for someone and it will have been like necessary for me to use that deck because I'll get a certain message from like the artwork in that deck.

Isn't it funny how everybody kind of processes and copes in different ways? Some people need dancing and some people just need to like lay in bed and cry and sometimes, like you, you need both. You need them at different times for different things and there's a time and place for everything.

Having people learn their (astrological) charts is all about awareness because there are usually elements of strife, discomfort, the parts of ourselves that we don't like to look at but are in there and it's about awareness because once you become aware of those things inside of you you have greater choice in how you make decisions.

This is just a moment in time between the two of us which, I don't know if I've ever said this on a podcast, but it is absolutely part of the design of the podcast that we're talking about making meaning while making meaning. Talking about making meaning with people I love is an exercise in meaning which is also why I think it's so interesting to put it out for an audience because I think it changes the meaning when it's listened to or when it's watched.

I think down the road once we get more complicated systems the key to actually getting artificial consciousness is to build a system that can ask those “why” questions. Not only for the purpose of explaining to us but to explain to itself and ask its own reflexive questions. That's how a lot of people define consciousness in philosophy as well - human beings have the highest level of consciousness because we are able to ask “why am I conscious?”

The person who has just been so important in my life is my first acting coach Catherine Hartt. I have a tattoo of the last thing she said to me on the first day we met which is “when you look at the world you see poetry.” I have it tattooed on my ribs. Talk about someone who saw something in me that I didn't even see in myself at that time. It really encouraged me to hone that. Miss Hartt is extremely intelligent and compassionate and creative and intuitive as well and so I think a lot of my like mystical side I get from her. Having trust and faith in the universe. Which is weird to say about an acting teacher maybe, but she taught me how to love life.
