I'm not going to work with a company that uses my artwork, which is precious to me, and not allow me to do certain things.

I'm not really a job-type person, where I go do a nine-to-give. I have to be with the work at all times and experiencing it.

Social media is the new way to communicate, the new way to show your work. You don't have to rely on stuffy, traditional, and conservative methods to be able to display your work.

Instead of collecting things and staying in one space, I want to collect experiences.

I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.

I want to always do things that are very current and pushing the boundaries of the way we create art.

The way I view the works, they're more like feelings than anything else.
