I'm reminded of the arm, and the body, and the appendage.

Some people think or expect that you should make the same kinds of art forever because it creates a convenient narrative... I want my work to embody my inherent contradictions.

I regret the whole worlds that will never come into existence, the children, the grandchildren, all the human possibilities that never were and never will be.

As far as businesses, I was always hustling. I had to pay for my own school. I got 20 bucks every week or 2 from my dad and that was it. So I had a "whatever it took" attitude.

I start where the last man left off.
