I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.

I think about my work every minute of the day.

I'm interested in power.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.

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

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