People are always trying to find the next groovy thing, and it hasn't gone back to painting... I'd like it to go back to painting. I'm sick of all this photography and video. There's so much of it, it's almost annoying.

I was supporting myself, but nothing like the guy painters, as I refer to them. I always resented that actually.. we were all getting the same amount of press, but they were going gangbusters with sales.

I’m trying to make other people recognize something of themselves rather than me.

I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead.

Being able to make a living doing something one truly loves to do - is my definition of success.

I don't think I can see the world through other people's eyes, but I can capture an attitude or a look that makes others think I can. I have an appreciation for why people choose to look the way they do. But I can't know what they experience.

I’m really just using the mirror to summon something I don’t even know until I see it.
