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

I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be and what we become.

... the thing that's happening today vis-á-vis computer imaging, vis-á-vis alteration, is that it no longer needs to be based on the real at all. I don't want to get into jargon - let's just say that photography to me no longer pertains to the rhetoric of realism; it pertains more perhaps to the rhetoric of the unreal rather than the real or of course the hyperreal.

Warhol's images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn't think about him a hell of a lot.

We are obliged to steal pieces of language, both visual and textual.

It's hard for me to understand how working-class people support themselves.

Art is as heavy as sorrow, as light as a breeze, as bright as an idea, as pretty as a picture, as funny as money, and as fugitive as fraud!
