I'm a painter, I'm an artist. I take things too far sometimes. I really need some comfort.

Star Wars came out when I was seven. It was so different from anything else, like peeking into the land of Oz. All you wanted to do was see it again and go back and see more of it. That feeling is not easy to reproduce. Eventually, you give up and try to recreate that feeling yourself.

We're making so many images today and it's unbelievable. I shoot stuff all the time. I try to figure a lot out before I paint. I do a tremendous amount of shooting.

I dont think I talk to anybody the same way I talk to Moby.

I love seeing things that work in the micro and work in the macro.

I started getting afraid of dying. I don't have any religion and I wanted to understand something about these greater powers without anthropomorphizing it.

Photorealism says: to fool your eye. That isn't what I've been interested in doing.
