You can get so many sounds out of one record. Every record can be used in some way.

We go to the movies to forget about time, to be in a dream state. And it's entertainment, distraction, from the fact that everything is kind of crumbling in front of our eyes.

It's good to get away from the editing suite. It's very unhealthy to be sitting in front of the screen for too long.

As an artist, you're always somewhat obscure. We're not talking Hollywood.

Every person's remembering will be different. That engagement is important, I think.

Art is all in the details.

I admire the abstract expressionists and pop artists so right now I'm referencing American '60s art and at the same time referencing Japanese manga culture.

It's the way life is, I suppose. Whatever happens, you deal with it.

Well? I've had a great birthday so far. Are you going to make it the most memorable one of my life by telling me you love me back?" ~Isaiah Coulter

I was piggy. But I'm not that person anymore.

In a recent fire Bob Dole's library burned down. Both books were lost. And he hadn't even finished coloring one of them.

I cling to him like he's what keeps me thriving. Because he is.

The footage that you're about to watch of China's dog-leather trade is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Of course women can have it all - if they want it all. I won't hear any defeatist talk. If you just dwell on problems, you won't get anywhere fast.
