I want to be in the studio. I want to be doing something. You just do whatever is at hand, and you don't even worry about whether it's going to be interesting or not interesting to anybody else-or even yourself. You just have to make something.

I don't like to think about being an influence. It's embarrassing.

The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.

My videos always involve some idea of a human being in a unusual situation-and what happens.

I get the feeling that sometimes the ideas work very well when you're doing them in the studio alone.

And I don't have any specific steps to take because I don't start the same way every time. But there is a knowing when it's enough and you can leave it alone.

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.
