I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.

Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.

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 always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.

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

I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.

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.
