For me, the best times are always going to be the most intense, the ones with the highest highs and the lowest lows.

The remark frames “the best times” not as calm happiness but as lived extremity: experiences that swing between exhilaration and despair. It suggests an aesthetic and emotional preference for intensity over stability—an outlook often associated with artists who value heightened perception, risk, and catharsis. The pairing of “highest highs” with “lowest lows” implies that joy and suffering are intertwined, and that depth of feeling (even when painful) can make life feel most real or meaningful. It can also be read as a candid acknowledgment of volatility: what is most memorable and creatively fertile may also be what is most destabilizing.
