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.

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

There were some types of sanctions that happen in the public world that made my work acceptable, where someone looks at the paintings and they don't - they may go, "okay," and then look at it in a different sort of way. Instead of just looking at it as some type of wild art, they look at it in a historical perspective or context.

I think it's your own ghost, seeing the work and just thinking if it will be okay to leave that around.

I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists who were doing interesting thing, but I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists.

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.
