Every artist's world is an individual experience and no one thing can prepare you. You have to go in and go where those roles lead you - just allow it to happen and follow your path.

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've learned that I need to learn how to direct without making the person distracted and keeping them comfortable, and pay more attention to lighting.

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

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

I remember when I first started putting things on the web and people were writing about it. I totally didn't keep up with what was going on because I wanted to present stuff in museums and galleries and have some presence on the web. I feel fortunate to have posted stuff in the beginning.
