As artists, sometimes our work is chaotic; we don't easily communicate our needs to other people in a way that they understand.

If I step out too much while in the process and don't allow myself to get into it, the piece may not get made.

I was in that generation where I was torn if you should put it on the web because you're giving it away for free but you also want people to see your work.

You can dwell on things, and if you open your eyes and pay attention to it, those things start popping up around you.

It's interesting how as an artist you keep evolving, but if you can get into the contemporary art space, if the works are in institutions and museums, they keep living on and on and on, even if you move to a different space, that work is still operating.

You can talk yourself out of doing something if you start to think about, "How would this person see it, or that person see it?" So sometimes it's allowing myself to be in it and not talking myself out of it.

Sometimes you divorce a part of yourself to save yourself emotionally.
