I'm happy to always be included in the list of women. I'd like to be in the sections about female leaders and male leaders. Why not?

I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.

In my own work I am invested in art as a way to break through impasses, whether those impasses are personal, social, or political.

There was an Israeli artist who was in grad school with me. I remember trying to get to know him on a more personal level. He had moved to the Fairfax area, not realizing that it's a super Jewish part of L.A. He told me, I don't understand why American Jews feel this connection with me. I was embarrassed because I was feeling that connection with him, too!

There are multiple shows of record about a late-transitioning patriarch and how the kids are affected, and there are multiple narratives. That narrative on "Keeping up with the Kardashians," the answer is, they're pretty much fine. It's the same sort of story we were telling which is, you know what? Everybody's okay.

My family gets incredibly tense and stressed out around traveling. There's something really beautiful in that vulnerability.

I said to my parents that I don't even know if there should be an Israel. And they were just so upset and hurt.
