Some people spend their entire lives thinking about one particular famous person. They pick one person who's famous, and they dwell on him or her. They devote almost their entire consciousness to thinking about this person they've never even met, or maybe met once. If you ask any famous person about the kind of mail they get, you'll find that almost every one of them has at least one person who's obsessed with them and writes constantly. It feels so strange to think that someone is spending their whole time thinking about you.

Everybody must have a fantasy.

I used to cut out paper dolls.

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

If there's ever a problem, I film it and it's no longer a problem. It's a film.

And your own life while it's happening to you never has any atmosphere until it's a memory.

I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordina ry.
