Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.

I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be and what we become.

I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.

I mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary.

Our bird of hope was being denied the altitude it sought, just free enough to fly dangerously close to the reality of the treetops.

Oh hell no, I thought. I am not wasting my first kiss on some guy who's skipping out on our first date.

Life is so much more about the experience than the destination. One will waste their life if they are waiting to reach a goal to celebrate. Still, it happens all the time.

The scrum and the tackle are the two really contentious areas of the game. If you get those two aspects right, most rugby matches will work in your favour.

I am not a hero in soul and never will be, but I am better than I was before. Or so I tell myself; and for now that is enough.

I played against him (Wilkins) in college. Getting nominated with him, that's pretty cool.

Oh, this is going to be fun; he actually thinks he's teaching me something.

Finding something important in life does not mean that you must give up everything else.
