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

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

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

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.

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.

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.
