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

In our family, there wasn't anything else besides art. Nothing else in the world existed. My father never spoke about going to a movie or listening to music, other than my mother's singing.

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

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

I'm peripheral in Colab's history because others were involved in media, filmmaking, and music, and I was always a studio artist.

When studio art started being seen as important, I joined Colab, and then I became very involved.

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.
