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

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

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

I think basically I'm a painter, but I would use anything to make my point.

I think, basically, I'm an abstract artist. I just think that that's not even an issue. I think everything's abstract.

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.
