When I went to college, and I went to art school, I started to realize that Warhol was cool and that pop art was fun.

There's nothing worse than people talking about theories and humor.

Culture is for old people. When you're young you have your body, and that's all you need.

A painting of any quality is always going to have nerdy energy, an affirmation behind it. It's gonna be like a kid playing a video game.

I think a lot of people take a scholarly approach where they feel like you're supposed to study things that depress you.

I think what I do is find a cliché and try to believe in it, try to get to where I don't laugh at it.

I've always found paintings of nudes depressing because they can't compete with photographs. The grainiest photograph of some girl, a blurry Polaroid - you'd rather look at that than the Venus de Milo, because you think, Wow, that's really somebody... This camera really was in front of this real naked lady.
