I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

I always like to see if the art across the street is better than mine.

When I look around today, the biggest anachronism I see is pregnancy. I just can't believe that people are still pregnant.

People in uniform always look so great.
