I used to have a dog, and I was very close to my dog, and he passed away, so when I need to bring out a moment where I’m crying, I bring out that moment. His name was Rinkles. All of the boys in my family’s names are spelled with an ‘R,’ and he was a boy, so he was Rinkles with an ‘R,’ not a ‘W.’

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you’re an artist.
