I'm really into California art from the '60s.

Some people are enraged, and some people are applauding. If there were a mission statement for graffiti, that would be it.

That's immediately how I gauge how healthy a city is-by the amount of tags. It's just in direct competition with advertising. It's still one of the last things that hasn't been corrupted.

The parts of graffiti I like are really antagonizing still - it's not something that a museum would really embrace.

Walking away from bad situations and negative people sets a healthier tone for the rest of your life. It also gives those who do not know any better the opportunity to self-correct.
