Some people must go to extremes to get the world in balance for themselves. Some can't bear bright lights, so wherever they go they search for the dark; they turn the lights down, anything to sustain some level of comfort.

I think the nice thing about showing work in New York is that other artists come to see it. When you show work in Switzerland or somewhere else, everywhere else seems to be the provinces in a certain way. You wonder what your paintings are doing on the walls and you wonder who's looking at them.

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

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

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.
