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 think not knowing what to think of your paintings is a good place to be.

There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?

When art is really great, it's really powerful, can really do something to you, make you feel more alive and make you feel more connected to something. If you don't feel like that when you do it, and you just make a movie to make money, that would be pretty boring to me. I just wouldn't do it. That would be like sitting in an office, which I don't want to do.

I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.

I think it's good when people don't write good things about your work. I mean, what a great compliment it is to be called a charlatan.

I think style is a fringe benefit that looks like you made it.
