I’m inspired by Bo Burnham. He’s a genius of our time, the quintessence of an artist-philosopher who makes the most painful things hilariously funny and the funniest things deeply painful.

I think the best thing you can do for your own growth is to set a goal that seems impossible.

As my friend Yaroslava Hres says, it's about the absence of fear to take responsibility.

It’s the youth who create the most revolutionary, extravagant, and interesting things. And you need to understand this. You won’t be young again, and youth is exactly the time when you’re at the forefront.

The greatest source of energy and inspiration in my life is understanding that I will die. It may be terrifying, cynical, and sudden, but knowing I can disappear at any moment drives me to work.

To me, being successful probably means understanding that every word you say now carries responsibility, and you can’t always express everything you think.
