Doubt tempers belief with sanity.

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 mean, making art is about objectifying your experience of the world, transforming the flow of moments into something visual, or textual, or musical, whatever. Art creates a kind of commentary.

GIVE YOUR BRAIN AS MUCH ATTENTION AS YOU DO YOUR HAIR AND YOU'LL BE A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER OFF.

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.

It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalized.

I think what I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.

I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

What do I wish I could be doing if money or status were not an issue?

Sunshine and water—the perfect recipe for happiness.

The only thing more important than your to-do list is your to-be list. The only thing more important than your to-be list is to be. ~

This sunlight linked me through the ages to that past consciousness.

Every noble life becomes a revelation of the spirit which the love and joy of mankind cannot let perish from remembrance.

When I'm in good form there are chances that rivals will worry more about you more than you about them.

Performance's being...becomes itself through disappearance.

Mankind is a dream of a shadow.

You’ll have your own superhero club before you know it.

Every desire bears its death in its very gratification. Curiosity languishes under repeated stimulants, and novelties cease to excite and surprise, until at length we cannot wonder even at a miracle.
