I am an artist who works very well under pressure, in fact. I like to have deadlines.

I like contrasting between black and white and color.

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

I try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

We are not free to pick and choose the parts of the Bible we want to believe or obey. God has given us all of it, and we should be obedient to all of it.

We ignorant of ourselves beg often our own harms which the wise powers deny us for our good.

The Bourbon King was first ambassador of reason and human happiness.

The house of delusions is cheap to build but drafty to live in.

You can never enslave somebody who knows who he is.

Snowboarding! I love it! Some of the best places to snowboard are Telluride and Park Cities, Utah.

I come from one of these hideous backgrounds where being sincere is like - ugh, you might as well kill yourself.

My 'work' is about seeing not about ideas.

Everytime you read, you are walking among the dead, and, if you are listening, you just might hear prophecies.

I'd love to write a country album with Adele.
