There's a moment of recognition. It's that white-light kind of stuff that just "works." I love that. And you know it when it happens, whether it's a movie, music, a building, a book.

Money talks. It makes art. It determines what food we eat, whether we are cured or die, and what shoes we wear.

I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.

the art world has always been an unrelenting taste machine, but now flavors of the month have morphed into flavors of the minute. Again, all a reflection of a wider cultural condition. I mean, the art world is slow compared with the music and movie businesses.

All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.
