“I guess my favorite thing in the world is when I look at a piece of art, or read a story, or watch a movie where I walk away feeling like ‘Oh my god — I have to do something, I have to make something or talk to someone — things are not the same anymore’ — and so I try to make work where you come away with that feeling. It’s like, yeah, you’re thinking about what you just saw, but even more than that — you feel able, you feel like, kind of propelled.” Miranda July, Pretty Cool People Interviews

This pretty much sums up everything I want to do in my life ever.
