Art class was my thing, but not any other class.

Its such a paradox. You come from this place where you want fame; you dont want to be bourgeois, but you want to be successful. You want to be accepted, but you also want to be going against the grain. You want to be on the outside, but you want to be on the inside.

I think that artworks are like these spiritual objects: I think that they have energies and powers beyond what the eye can see.

For all the drama we all have with our families and all the tension and hostility, I couldn't have done this without my family. Being the people that they are - they're crazy - made it possible for me to be crazy and to live a lifestyle of my own design.

At the end of the day, you cant have a vision; you have to have a hope. This is where the miracle comes in.

Art is kind of the lens through which I think about God.
