I'm not by nature a terribly intuitive person; I need to build a situation in which I will behave more intuitively, and that has really changed the life of my work - I found a way to trick myself into being intuitive.

Every child should have a chance to feel special.

I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another.In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place.

In my art, I deconstruct and then I reconstruct, so visual perception is one of my primary interests.

I knew from the age of five what I wanted to do. The one thing I could do was draw. I couldn't draw that much better than some of the other kids, but I cared more and I wanted it badly.

I'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant.

I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.
