I never said the camera was truth. It is, however, a more accurate and more objective way of seeing.

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

Inspiration is for amateurs - the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will - through work - bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great "art idea."

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

Art saved my life in two ways. It made me feel special, because I could do things my friends couldn't, but it also gave me a way to demonstrate to my teacher that, despite the fact that I couldn't write a paper or do math, I was paying attention.

Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don’t apply to you.

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.
