I think about my work every minute of the day.

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.

I'm interested in power.

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.

My favorite activity is to be with my family.

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

I'm interested in power. I'm interested in the kind of polarities and equilibriums that take place within sexuality and philosophy and sociology. So in Versailles, in this type of setting, you have a place that is about absolute control, where everything has been thought about.
