I was really naïve. I had no idea artists made money.

As I was walking down the stairs, I kept thinking that the room felt like a movie theater with all your attention on this wall, so it seemed like a big challenge.

Being an artist is supposed to be a scam, not a career.

The Internet has a lot of solutions. I found an insane way to trap chipmunks - it was too crazy not to try.

To some extent I've always taken the architecture of the space into account.

I'm always looking at the computer. I make all of my work on the computer at some point or another. Almost all of the paintings come from a file.

When I was younger and was working as a Dia guard I would go to see everything. I went to every opening. I was really interested in seeing and learning as much as I could.

I've never seen a postcard of my work in a museum.

I think as a student I ended up liking so many different and conflicting things.

You fill a hungry place shaped like your darkness.

Don't hate the game, hate the player... the player should have known better than to play the game in the first place.

Our hands imbibe like roots, so i place them on what is beautiful in this world. And I fold them in prayer, and they draw from the heavens light

I really wanted the house to be a character. And I knew, I said, I'll produce that one, but if I direct it, I need to build a house.

The worst thing in the world is a bitter woman. That's one thing about your mother, she's never been bitter.

It almost makes the secrets more important, those few things you actually do choose to keep to yourself.

The deep, intimate connection I am searching for is within me. I am all that I am looking for. I am love. All is well.

Pain is real when you get other people to believe in it. If no one believes in it but you, your pain is madness or hysteria.

I walk so fast, I talk so fast, I could turn the light off and be in bed before the room's dark.
