I'm always so sick of myself after a show.

No painting can exist without the tension of what it figures and what it concretely consists of. The pleasure of what it could mean and the pain of what it's not.

When you do try to picture the boys who do ask you out, they're absolutely featureless, like old carvings eroded by centuries of rain and wind.

Don't invest in anything that you don't understand. Do your research first.

Why don't we call on the credit card companies to be accountable? They need to be held accountable for their predatory lending practices.

Grief diminishes when it has nothing to grow upon.
