My direction is very anti-contemplative. If you thought I was for commercial products, you'd think there was no irony. The irony isn't meant to be an ironic comment on our society, exactly.

My work isn't about form. It's about seeing. I'm excited about seeing things, and I'm interested in the way I think other people see things.

You want to work with people who you like and have an easy rapport with.

I took action as governor to preserve the sanctity of life.

Girl talk. That thing I've always been so bad at.
