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

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.

I think people have problems sometimes when things are too general. In fact, they are not really general at all.

Can I find a poetic that can be subversive enough to grab people in some subliminal way, to where they feel that they are altered and have had an experience that belonged to them?

Painting is like breathing to me. It’s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie.

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.
