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

A good teacher is like a good artist. They go right to the most difficult part of whatever's going on.

I'll talk. You'll listen.

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

But part of the enjoyment I take in it is finding the most efficient way to do it, which doesn't mean the corrections aren't made. I like to have a feeling of the whole task before I start, even if it changes.

I'm surprised when the work appears beautiful, and very pleased. And I think work can be very good and very successful without being able to call it beautiful, although I'm not clear about that. The work is good when it has a certain completeness; and when it's got a certain completeness, then it's beautiful.

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.
