I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. That's not the motivation for art.

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

Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.

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.

I've always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and surrealism and pop art. The only thing the artist can do is be honest with themselves and make the art they want to make. That's what I've always done.

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.
