“[Being an artist is] being a rock-star, it’s being a doctor, it’s all of that. I like to do a little bit of everything, so if we wanted to sit down and do a piece that was us being electricians for a year, then we would do that. If I wanted to become a lawyer and represent a friend in a divorce trial, then I could do that.”
