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.

Nobody is perfect. I don't think it's the most scathing indictment of anybody. It's pretty innocuous. [Miral] is just the story of one family and one girl, living in that part of the world, and that's what goes on over there. I thought that maybe it would be informative and useful for people to know more about it.

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

There are generations of people who have never seen a big plate painting in person. And they don't know what the hell they look like, they don't know what it feels like to stand in a room with them.

I think beauty is a feeling that you get after you've had an experience. It's the way you feel about it that is beautiful.

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

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