Belief is tricky because left to its own devices, it can court a kind of surety, an unquestioning allegiance that fears doubt and destroys difference.

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

What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.

Things change and work changes. Right now I like the idea of enveloping a space and getting messages across that connect to the world in ways that seem familiar but are different.

I have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism - objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. There can be an abusive power to photography, too.

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.

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