I did live in Paris for three years and I prefer New York.

I find great satisfaction in the rigorous structure of the grid, but I like the organic on the grid so that there's a combination of structure and chaos.

I have found, and most artists are probably this way, that [when] you're working on some kind of idea, the idea makes demands.

Very early on I was interested in doing political art, but it was not feminist political art.

I've always been interested in archaeology, I guess ever since junior high or high school.

Flying used to be so great but now it's more of a trial.

I've always liked New York even before I lived in New York. It represents something, I think, and it would be trite to say what it represents really because it's been said so many times.

Mexico doesn't seem alien to Californians.

When I graduated from high school, this is in Los Angeles, I was very interested in taking a trip to Mexico to see the archeological sites. So three other people and myself drove down there.

I have made on occasion posters and things like that for political reasons but not my work.

I veer more toward the philosophical and the poetic than I do toward the alert and angry.

You can't help it. An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.

Sometimes kindness is stepping aside, letting go of our need to be right & just being happy for someone.

I think the world is filled with so much hype and PR bull. Frankly, it all comes out in the end. Good or bad, I'd rather just let our accomplishments really speak for themselves.

Things happen for a reason. We'll see where life takes me from here.

To sing is to bring to life; impossible if the words are mediocre, however good the music.

One does not learn how to die by killing others.

A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.

The people who make history are not the people who make it who are there but the people who make it and then write about it.

I was so nervous before going out there

You don't make your character in a crisis, you exhibit it.
