I built a ball pit in my house, a playpen, Burger King-style ball pit. It’s 7×7 feet in my bedroom and it’s full of plastic balls. I ordered 10,000 plastic balls online and I built this thing. I went to Home Depot and got this plywood, and then I just screwed it all together into this box. I put foam at the bottom and I filled the box with these colorful plastic balls. People come over all the time and we just go in and swim around.

I think maybe it is an only child thing. I also think a part of me just went crazy and I just realized that I’m a human and I can do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want.  If I want a ball pit, I can have a ball pit. You can create anything.

Sometimes people say to me, “I don’t know how to paint. I’m not a good artist.” I think if you sit down and have a canvas and paint, and you do something on that canvas, you will be surprised. You made art. We limit ourselves all the time – all the time – saying we can’t do things, we can’t do things, we can’t do things and very rarely do we say, “Yes, I can do that.” Even if it’s the most crazy idea you ever imagined, even more crazy than you could imagine.

Here are the four rules for playing in The Ball Pit:

1)    No shoes.

2)    No pets or animals.

3)    No drugs or alcohol.

4)    No sex.
