Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly.

Art is one of the few places where you can put it in a constructive way where it won't burn you up inside or hurt anyone.

Let me see: art and activism. I can always fall back on, "the question should be, what isn't political? Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly." I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.

We all know artists who like to collaborate, who like to work as a team. It all kind of depends what your habitual working method is.

Art grabs people by their eyeballs, it seduces them ... art is a means to an end rather than simply an end in itself.

The poster art over the years, art with social critique in it, has always been trying to make that point - that we are larger than they are.

The art was just a way of hooking people in, saying: "Hey, maybe there's something cool about the tenant meeting. If the picture's really cool and weird, maybe I should check this out." And I think all of my art has really developed out of that realization.
