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

It's really hard for me to use the term 'history' in the singular, because it suggests a reductivist view of how moments and events congeal and reflect the passage of time. I'd rather stick to the pluralness of 'histories' in order to suggest the simultaneity, the parallel forces at work, which produce lived experience.

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

What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.

The reason why bookstores are going out of business in the States is that people just can't focus on longer narratives now - even narrative film is in crisis in many ways, unless it's an adventure film.

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

I'm living my life, not buying a lifestyle.
