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.

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

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.

The point of art is that it always has the necessity to expand because people are inherently expanding.

Many people don't have relationships to their siblings in adulthood, or they have superficial ones. It's sort of unfashionable, particularly in America, to be close to your family.

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.

I have to make about a million proofs of everything. I don’t know, it’s just a repetition, like a meditation. You come back to something and then you leave it, and then you come back again and you leave it, and each time it changes. And sometimes you have to wait for new information inside yourself to be able to finish something, to find out how it should go.
