“What’s your favorite thing about your sister?”
Right – “I admire lots of qualities in her. I admire her patience, her ability to practice, her perseverance. The sense of integrity she has around what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. She has a cohesive sense creatively of what she wants to do and it doesn’t matter what other people think. I admire her sonic memory. That pertains to everything from music to words. She has an incredible capacity for language. I totally admire that she’s completely self taught. I like hanging out with her, just the two of us…talking about family. About art and politics. It’s really interesting seeing the overlaps we have, but also the gulfs of opinion. We’re really similar at times, yet so different. Comparing those things, and navigating them and learning about them.”
“And you?”
Left – “She’s really smart. She wants to get better at everything. She’s kind of addicted to self-improvement. Improving her craft. She’s a lot more forgiving than I am, that’s cool. And…she gives good head rubs.”

Right – “We’ve always been close, but we’ve always been rivals. She was blond and beautiful and when she came she took all the attention. When we were little she loved to draw and at the time all she could draw was triangles. She called them tent people. It was really cool because she understood her limitations and turned them into something creative.”
