PR got to be much bigger because of the emergence of digital media. Now we have hundreds of people who are, in a sense, manning embassies for Facebook and Twitter for brands.

There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right.

When I started performing, there wasn't Facebook and Social Media was not huge as it is now.
New York City is just one node on the global cultural scene now. Social media reflects the state of the world, so I've become more devoted to that. To be a NYC artist today feels local and small. Social media feels now.
