All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.

I think there are different ways of being rigorous, and I am asking people to be as rigorous in their pleasure as in their criticism.

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.

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

If I bring up political power, personal power, it sounds like they're my terms, and they're not.

All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which, in turn, can become history. It's scary.

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.
