I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.

I believe in sensuality. I believe in sex. I believe in the survival of the species. I like aspects of things that are ethereal, but I like the reality of nature and embracing the way nature works, and aspects of interrelationships between male-female, aspects of the body, the way the body has changed over thousands of years . . .

If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.

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

I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.

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

My favorite activity is to be with my family.
