“Many artists who don't go off to art school come to New York. It's about what you learn when you're here.”

“I always have a lot of things going on because some things take years to make and others take five minutes. I like that there's always something going on. Working doesn't have such a momentous feel - like it's all or nothing.”

“What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that.”

“The only thing they can't teach you at art school is art.”

“I went to art school, wanting to be a painter and then I got into photography. Then it was movies, and I liked the images. One of the things that interested me in film was that I was communicating in images. That was something I did intuitively and could not even talk about until I started having to do interviews.”

“I worked my way through art school as an auto mechanic, doing various stuff including sanding bodywork and using Bondo filler.”
