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

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.

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.

Art helped give me confidence.

Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.

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