Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.

Even before I had children I wanted the intensity of my life to get greater. I wanted to feel things more strongly. I wanted my intellectual parameters to expand. But it comes back to your own desire to be engaged and to live up to your parameters.

I'm interested in power.

When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.

If I physically made every work myself, I would get only one or two paintings done a year, if that.

I like my drawings to be direct. I don't generally work on them for too long, but that doesn't mean that they are not works in their own right.

I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
