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

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

My favorite activity is to be with my family.

People have different ideas, emotional ideas, of what certain words mean, and they think of irony as something that's more associated with being cynical-it's kind of a put-down.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
