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

I think there are lots of ways to make good work. You can throw big bucks at a project and make what some would call crap, or you can work very modestly with eloquently moving results.

I've always been very tied to language.

It's a small world, but not if you have to clean it

I'm trying to deal with ideas about histories, fame, hearsay, and how public identities are constructed.

Look, we're all saddled with things that make us better or worse. This world is a crazy place, and I've chosen to make my work about that insanity.

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.
