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.

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.

There are certain times you want to be here and there are certain times you want to just go. And when you go, it's usually so exhausting you have to check into a hospital when you come home!

I want the paintings to take me or the viewer out somewhere else.

Painting is like breathing to me. It’s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie.

I think it was so unfair that people attacked Freida Pinto for being an Indian, playing a Palestinian.

I'm not saying I'm the only Jewish person who cares about Palestinian people, but unfortunately, their voices are not necessarily heard as loudly as they should be.
