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

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

A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market.

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

I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.

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.

As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
