It's nice to see your name in print. It's interesting.

I think it's your own ghost, seeing the work and just thinking if it will be okay to leave that around.

I guess I am ruthless too because that's what makes a great artist. But I also respect people, I don't go around stepping on their heads.

Sometimes my kids might tell me they had a dream or and maybe I'll paint some paintings from their dream. That's one good thing you get from your kids. Rob them of their dreams.

I like when people get really close to the paintings, when they can't really get away from them, I like them to operate in that way on the viewer.

I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists who were doing interesting thing, but I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists.

It doesn't matter what I think I am, it matters what I do.
