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.

I have people who come up to me and say, 'Oh, seeing your work in my little home town in the middle of nowhere on the internet inspired me to move to London, or New York and pursue a creative career.' It makes me quite emotional.

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 tend to stay in one place and become a hermit and not leave. Work, work, work, and collect things, create and curate a space.

I consider myself a digital artist, so what I'll do is create everything with technology.

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

I didn't visit art galleries growing up. I didn't know anything about it. But at 17 I made the decision to leave home and explore. I've been using the Internet since I was 13, so I could see there was this whole world out there.
