As an artist you have a choice. You can add more confusion and darkness to the world or you can shine a light, make a beauty.

As you are working on ideas, you are in a bubble, working on your images. What's important to me in my work, I like this idea of communicating through a piece of art so works don't have to be exchanged. They're okay and they're helpful but most importantly that the image will convey something in my mind that I was trying to communicate and then you have that connection.

The cruelty, war and violence, this is evil, wrong and dark and that's what we should hide from the children, not a human body!

It's much harder to work for yourself, by yourself, than to create work for a gallery, because there are no limits and you can do anything you want. It's always easier when you have a parameter, when you have a limit. You can work within the limit and push it and walk the line, but when you're given absolutely no limits, it's harder. You must really think. It's more challenging.

I still go to church occasionally. I went the other day and found peace.

I never want people to be repulsed with my pictures; I always want to attract people.

I like the consistency of having people in my life for a long time.
