It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalized.

I have no complaints, except for the world.

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.

I want to speak, show, see, and hear outrageously astute questions and comments. I want to be on the sides of pleasure and laughter and to disrupt the dour certainties of pictures, property, and power.

Listen: our culture is saturated with irony whether we know it or not.

Direct address has been a consistent tactic in my work, regardless of the medium that I'm working in.

I want people to be drawn into the space of the work. And a lot of people are like me in that they have relatively short attention spans. So I shoot for the window of opportunity.
