My support system is simple - people and time. The miracle of other people in your life.

Now, it is much more difficult for young people coming to New York. But also when you're young, you have more time to interact with one another, to discover yourself with people of your generation.

Life really changes. And it gets lighter, for the most part. You tolerate yourself and others better.

I like that feeling when you’re making art, that you’re taking the energy out of your body and putting it into a physical object. I like things that are labor-intensive : you make a little thing and another little thing and another little thing, and eventually you see a possibility.

Art is a reflection of everything that impacts your life.

Things that are very significant and important to you when constructing an identity when you're younger change.

It’s one of my loose theories that Catholicism and art have gone well together because both believe in the physical manifestation of the spiritual world.
