Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.

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.

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

I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. That's not the motivation for art.

The moment we live in is a great time to make art. We have different technologies to play with, and we're left with the opportunity to focus on our work.

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