Traditionally, photography is supposed to capture an event that has passed; but that is not what I'm looking for. Photography brings the past into the present when you look at it...

The thing about living in New York is that there are other artists; that is the most difficult, I think they are the hardest critics.

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.

Making a painting is like playing the saxophone. You hit the note and it comes out.

I don't think my paintings are self-conscious but you feel the consciousness of them. Without them being self-conscious.

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.

I was always very... impatient about showing my paintings to people.
