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 . . .

Every day I wake up and I really try to pinch myself to take advantage of today and to use that freedom of gesture to do what I really like to do.

I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising.

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

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.

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

Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.
