Art is a reflection of everything that impacts your life.

I think that sense of always traveling has something to do with anonymity and privacy and pleasure in having a very clear, very reductive life.

I like Betsy Ross as a model, too, the quilting bee, sitting around with your friends making art, asking what they think, so that you get the benefit of everyone's opinions and so it's not just about you in your you-dom.

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.

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

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.

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.
