And the part about being a professional artist is that you can tell, and you can do it over again, even if you can't say how you got there exactly.

But if you can find that spot - I suppose it's like running - I used to be a swimmer and swim laps, and you just have to be there with what you're doing.

And sometimes the question that you pose or the project that you start yourself turns into something else, you know, but at least it gets you started.

It's just strange to think about...whether I'll be an artist or what I'll be doing.

Did you stop because it was good enough, or could have done more - but then maybe ruined it too? Sometimes you finish because you've gone too far.

My work is basically an outgrowth of the anger I feel about the human condition. The aspects of it that make me angry are our capacity for cruelty and the ability people have to ignore situations they don't like.
