I think this is pretty clear, but maybe not to everybody: Despite the fact that the work is personal or taken from life, it's not about me telling my personal story.

My work is basically images set to my particular voice. It's the way the images rhyme and the rhythm. It's a way of economical storytelling for me.

That's the fantasy dream project, to collaborate with someone who preaches the gospel of art through music.

My dream is to collaborate with a mature person.I feel like my talents were being wasted in art school. I would like to try something else, but not the obvious or usual thing.

The personal is the political. That's an old tagline.

As the art world changes, artists have more and more responsibility. You don't have a lot of luxury to be super secluded.

I'm making art and making decisions and editing things. I don't live my life to broadcast it into the art world; I don't see it as my life on the stage.

Because I'm always working on something, I'm always thinking.

I understand - and often make fun of - the desire to run to the wall text before running to the painting.

Swirling around my ears, the wind and I whooping at the sea, picking up speed, breathing it all in. An act of loving life.

I have never experienced racism in the feminist movement, so it concerned me to think that I was unable to see the subject clearly because I came from white, middle-class privilege.

I'm Winnie the Pooh - that's as sexy as I am. I meet ladies and they talk about their family and I talk about my family. It's about as sexy as a bag of Brussel sprouts.

I was never encouraged to do it and I played the accordion, which I hated. I wish I had taken piano because I definitely would have written more songs of my own, but I didn't.

What does music mean to you? What would you do without music?

Some people do piano lessons after school; I do movies.

Forgive and be happy. That is the ancient secret?the only wisdom ever to be attained.

Throw your arms around the world and hold on tight. But not through fear...but because of your love.

Kings and cabbages go back to compost, but good deeds stay green forever.

Books are the depositary of everything that is most honourable to man.
