My favorite activity is to be with my family.

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

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

The entertainment industry, the advertising industry have taken [the] tools from the art world and made themselves much more politically potent. We are really devastated and very impotent right now. A photographer just working for an advertising company has a platform to be much more politically effective in the world than an artist.

A photograph for me does not have a sense of spiritual seduction, it does not have an essence, that this is something that permeates and which is eternal through time.

A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market.

I'm interested in power.
