I don't think the meaning in my paintings comes from just using broken dishes.

I think that truth is stranger than fiction, and it's nice to know the people you're making a movie about.

If I hung one of my paintings next to someone else's, I knew mine would kind of pop off the wall.

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.

What's interesting about making art is that you take everything you know about it and you bring it up to that point, and you start making a physical thing that addresses what that is. And when you do it, you don't know anything about it - if it's going to work or not work.

You seem to make different concessions with yourself about what you want to focus on or not, and what you want to pay attention to.

Maybe my work looks a little crazy, a little insane, but I don't really see myself as a crazy artist or a shaman artist.
