If you're a young artist, wondering what to call yourself, consider 'multimedia artist.' It's so vague. Then, no one can say, 'Hey, how come you're a jazz person, and you're making a pop opera?

If I'm confused, I just spend some time looking at the sky and falling into it. It's not a meditation that anyone taught me, it's something I've done my whole life, and liked doing, and it made me feel like nothing.

Performance art is about joy, about making something that's so full of kind of a wild joy that you really can't put into words.

I don't take compliments so well. I always hang my head and shuffle and kind of try to immediately forget.

You can do great things with low-tech stuff.

I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.

When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.
