That should be the goal for all art, to be as simple as a flashcard.

A lot of ideas don't translate very well into art. To say, "Oh my god, the grass is green ..." You're going to end up with a big green painting.

I think art, if it's meaningful at all, is a conversation with other artists. You say something, they say something, you move back and forth.

Photos should suggest a word(s) and vice versa. They should be equal and interchangeable.

I want to produce images that startle one into recollection.

I don't try to be funny. It's just that I feel the world is a little bit absurd and off-kilter and I'm sort of reporting.

If you're smart, you abandon the things that didn't work out so well, and you enlarge upon the things that seem to be successful.
