If We're A Family And

When I Was A Kid, I Wanted To Make My Parents Happy. I'd Always Say To Them, "what Do You Want Me To Do? Do Sports? Be Rich? Be Funny?" My Mother Would Say, "whatever We Want From You, You Already Gave Us - We Wanted You To Be Alive, And You Made It."

Sometimes, When You Are In A Really Constrained Situation, It Makes You More Focused About What You Want To Say And Where You're Heading. The Most Beautiful Love Poems That Were Ever Written Are Sonnets, Composed In A Very Constraining Form.

I Don't Need Art To Tell Me People Are Assholes. I Can Just Go Into The Streets.

Life Keeps Being A Beautiful And Frustrating Experience.

During The War, There Were People Wishing Me Death, Wishing My Son Death, Wishing My Wife Death In Very Graphic Ways. In The Past, I Would Go Overseas And I Would Say, "israel Is Like My Family: We Disagree, But We're All Brothers." I Can't Say That Anymore, Because Life Proves Me Wrong.
