If you want to be somewhere, you should go to that place and check it out.

I have the dream to continue being in an art context, but also be able to continue doing stuff in television on the web.

What really made me a performance artist was that I was able to step back and assess. I've always had [that ability], but it was coming to an understanding.

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.

Sometimes I just cringe. I can feel the emotion, that whole anxiety of being in this new world that I sort of evolved into. I would just do it, put it out there, and go for it.

When I stepped back from the gallery I was in a phase where I thought I wasn't going to be making work for a gallery context for a while. People were like, "You should never leave a gallery if you didn't have somewhere else to go," but I wasn't trying to disrespect the gallerists in that way.

I think I'm aware of entering my late 30s versus being in my late 20s, when the web was coming out as this new thing. It reminds me of how people used to tell me about my great-grandmother and how they used to gather around a radio listening to soap operas.
