I'm always working. If I'm not in my studio I become quite nervous.

I think you always, as an artist, feel like you would like to be more and more specific about your intent and your interests.

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.

The moment we live in is a great time to make art. We have different technologies to play with, and we're left with the opportunity to focus on our work.

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

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

I believe in sensuality. I believe in sex. I believe in the survival of the species. I like aspects of things that are ethereal, but I like the reality of nature and embracing the way nature works, and aspects of interrelationships between male-female, aspects of the body, the way the body has changed over thousands of years . . .
