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

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.

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.

And then what makes the work interesting is if you choose the right questions.

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.

If I was an artist, and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art.

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