Who inspires you?
Myself, Ye, and God. Thereʼs only one of us in existence, so make the most of it.
What is your main goal in life?
Love Everyone. Inspire a generation to live with nature, not surpass it. Have my grandchildren explore the stars, where theyʼll inspire all of humanity.
What is the greatest reward?
Having no regrets. Bad thoughts linger because we let them. I learned from my parents, who both came from nothing, that everything comes and goes. Live knowing you did everything you could and let your kids flourish in their passions.
If you were God, what one thing would you change?
Give people the ability to fly like Superman. Free the superhero of national ties.
Your biggest challenge,
and how do you overcome it?
For the longest time, materialism and attention brought me to dark places. It never felt like enough. Social media wasnʼt helping either. That was when I started deprogramming from ultra processed food, modern clothing with all the plastic infused in it, and discovering creative visionaries like you.
What is your greatest advice?
Never stop learning. The world is always evolving, growing, fusing, so I think we should all observe and learn.
Recommend one book:
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. All artists are subject to a life of ridicule, as their minds are more sensitive to the world. People like Ye embody a spirit that most call madness, few though see genius. Real artists are for the people.
What makes you happy?
Making others happy. Not millions online, but the ones next to me.
Name one place you believe everybody should visit:
Japan.
Favourite quote?
“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The
aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero
and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint
and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”
-Carl Sagan, Astronomer speaking on the “Pale Blue Dot” a picture of Earth taken by the Voyager 1 in 1990 over 4 billion miles away.
