I often really like to play with documenting my performances cinematically. Cinematic documentation is much more interesting than the performance itself.

The best trick I learned was when a priest came to me when I was an altar boy and said, "Always, when you make a mistake, pretend it's ritual." It's beautiful!

I really love country music, just this idea of three chords and the truth.

What draws me to theater and religion are these rituals made to make you feel emotion. It's so banal in an interesting way. In visual art it's about making you feel emotional, but it's more subtle.

I think my favorite Rolling Stones song is "No Expectations." I always think and talk through songs.

I was very prejudiced when I started arts school. I, like all of those kids, was like, "I don't like this modern stuff." I came to arts school with a very stupid, conservative set of ideas about art.

I'm so used to being in a theater where there is always a narrative, but I'm more about the still moment, the painter inside me.

I watched the piles of feces go up the conveyor belt... They made their way through the machine... A few minutes later I took a long taste of the end result: a glass of delicious drinking water.

I don't care about the politics, I don't care about the practicality, I don't care about any of it.

I didn't grow up in the ocean -- as a matter of fact -- near the ocean -- I grew up in the desert. Therefore, it was a pleasant contrast to see the ocean. And I particularly like it when I'm fishing.

During my short time on earth I have realized that opportunities are seldom labeled.

We were doing performance art as far back as 1965, just not calling it that.

I never thought my face would be on the cover of a Red Bull Six Pack.

There are life lessons that can be derived from reality television.

Human character evermore publishes itself. The most fugitive deed and word, the intimated purpose, express character.

The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears... This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.

If we are to love sincerely, and with simplicity, we must first of all overcome the fear of not being loved.
