Yes, there's a certain power to a photograph. The camera has a way of disorienting a person, if it wants to and, for me, when it disorients, it's got real value.

When I paint a picture of a house, that goes back to my roots.

There's so much going on today. I continually hear, sometimes from artists, that everything's done. It's been done. I fail to see that.

I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn't realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that... but that's what it did.

The difference between psychedelia and digitalia ages will seem like a smooth blending in years to come and will be a mere blip on the screen.

I wasn't captivated by the romance of Paris or London. I love visiting, but I'd rather be in L.A.

The subject [of Los Angeles] became a general metaphor for anxiety and the speed of modern life.
