Agnes Martin is a big influence in my work actually, when I first saw her, these fine grids.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

I know where the mistakes are. Nothing is perfect and I understand that.

I like keeping my mind as far away from money and the material aspects of my job as possible.

When it comes to our foreign policy, Mitt Romney seems to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s.
