It’s one of my loose theories that Catholicism and art have gone well together because both believe in the physical manifestation of the spiritual world.

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.

The virtue of making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before does not begin to be superhuman.

People can make a real difference. One person at a time, one job at a time, one life at a time.

I like strong opinions - I'll take that any day over someone who agrees with everything.

And in turn I'm hostile guess you could call me anti-social. Niggaz shakin like they caught the holy ghost when I approach em.

Far from the world I walk, and from all care.
