Life really changes. And it gets lighter, for the most part. You tolerate yourself and others better.

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.

I think making things beautiful is important. But often what's first considered ugly is beautiful, too.

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.

I always thought it was a trap to fit into ideologies, and maybe that's a luxury position, but my work is a reflection of my being here. My being here is not a reflection of an idea.

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

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.
