Things change and work changes. Right now I like the idea of enveloping a space and getting messages across that connect to the world in ways that seem familiar but are different.

I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be and what we become.

I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.

I'm pretty disciplined and am almost always on schedule.

The Earth is big. There are huge natural forces that have worked over geological time. But it turns out, when you look carefully at the geological time, you can't find anything like us.

In the clubs, it's all out and you can say whatever as the character. TV has standards.

When you look up. Do you see the blue sky of what might be? Or the darkness of what will never be? Do you see me?

We have to understand and explain to each other what blackness is.

A state of negative energy means that you are essentially getting something for nothing.

Tania, there is so much still ahead of you. Be patient with life

I don't know if I've had my share of drama, but I've definitely had my share of hard times.

Entry is not equivalent to possession.
