"I think for me it's this meta game of movement, of challenging myself… I'm at this whatever stage I'm at, like my body, my homeostasis is at whatever it is right now, I have a goal of something to do. Right now it happens to be swimming really fast, but it could be literally any form of movement or something with a human body. And there's this passion or like creativity in the sense of moving from where I am now and then changing myself physically and mentally to get to the point that allows me to do whatever I want to do. And like that meta game of just the creative process of moving into some new space, I think has always been with me. I did a lot of sports growing up. I'd always just be interested in seeing if I could do something and if I couldn't do it figuring out, okay, how can I change myself at any level to then be able to do that. And so I think heavily that is one part that I probably couldn't take away from myself because that's truly a part of me."
"If you have a through line of your life, of your personality, of your character from birth or as far back as you can remember to now. If you were to take away everything that wasn't you, eventually you'll be left with a certain amount of things that if you were to take away it wouldn't be you. It wouldn't be your through line. It wouldn't be your personal myth. What would you say would be something that you couldn't take away such that if you took it away it wouldn't be anything?"
