Even before I had children I wanted the intensity of my life to get greater. I wanted to feel things more strongly. I wanted my intellectual parameters to expand. But it comes back to your own desire to be engaged and to live up to your parameters.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.

I want my work to be accessible to people.

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

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

Art is obsolete now. New technologies are taking over.
