Everything I've seen becomes real once it becomes memory. The films I've seen are interchangeable with things that have really happened to me.

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 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 the meaning in my paintings comes from just using broken dishes.

It's a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don't have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own.

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.

Some people might think that the paintings are involved with a mythic - not just subject matter - but a certain sort of physical space that the paintings occupy...like personages.
