I think about my work every minute of the day.

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.

I like my drawings to be direct. I don't generally work on them for too long, but that doesn't mean that they are not works in their own right.

I think about my work every minute of the day.

I don't think irony is about judgment; I think irony is something like, "Oh, that's interesting," because it's not something I think one starts off to achieve. I think it's just something that presents itself. And if it does, I find it's usually optimistic, not negative in its terms.

As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.

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