My iPhone has changed my life - I spend hours taking photos of the sidewalk as I walk down the street. I like the casualness, that it's low-resolution.

When I was young, it was an exciting time to be in New York.

Stained glass enabled the modern world.

You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I'm given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one's own vision.

I didn't start to be an artist myself until I was 24.

I've been very lucky being in New York. While there are many things that have impacted my life, I have been able to stay here and do my own work.

I always say I'm Catholic - but a cultural Catholic. I wouldn't say I'm a spiritual person, although I pray every day.
