I think my work is about the different strategies man has invented to deal with desire, frustration, fear of death, exhaustion. It's very much about life on earth.

Art has to maintain as large a space for interpretation as possible, and to protect itself from being too narrow.

In a way, the political cartoon drawings are things that are small and have humor and a childhood aesthetic and are often stronger to spread an opinion.

For me, it would be very difficult to express an opinion about our times without humor. I don't think you could do that.

Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?

I think art must be the place where you are protected from the logic of the outside world.

Baroque sculpture and interior design has a quality of creating an environment that seems organic because it's full of curves and details, like a forest.

I'm interested in making works for museums in a way that make the space feel domestic, and I'm always thinking about how this work will be part of someone's daily life.

I want to experiment with new techniques and become a "traditional baroque artist."

I think humor is often a very powerful tool to be able to express ideas that are heavy.

I'm working on new techniques. I'm trying to find a way to make fresco that can be detached from a wall, and I'm trying to find new people who can help me work on a very large scale in bronze.

Life's a gloomy puddle, until you start jumping in it.

On a world built to ordered specification, there was no logical reason for such a mountain to exist. Yet every world should have at least one unclimbable mountain.

For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes by virtue of their common womanhood the property of all women.

I have the curse of thinking funny!

I've always wanted to act and I can't think of anything else I'd want to do, honestly.

Real freedom must include economic security.

I desire that on no occasion ... shall demonstrations of a political or religious character be made before my remains.

I'm not going to sacrifice love, real love, for any *%@$n' war or any friend, or any business, because in the end you're alone at night.

I used to wear real fur, but, like many others, I had a change of heart when I learned what actually happens to the animals.

If there's time for an emergency, why isn't there time for brilliance, generosity or learning?
