Life changes a lot. I guarantee you.

As an artist, you want to have an experience. What you need to experience changes over the course of your life because your life changes.

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

Prior to my father's death, I was having a hard time committing to a career as an artist, but that's not because of who he was - it was because of who I am. It's true, though, that I felt I shouldn't compete with him, and that those feelings went away after he died.

One's self is always shifting in relationship to beauty and you always have to be able to incorporate yourself or your new self into life. Like your skin starts hanging off your arms and stuff, and then you have to think, well that's really beautiful too. It just isn't beautiful in a way that I knew it was beautiful before.

The miracle of being able to pay attention to other people in your life, and the miracle of being in time, and to continue being in time.

It is very different when you age. The things that are significant, or what drives you, or the physical experience of being driven, changes over time.
