A lot of artists who have a certain style are expected to more or less keep doing their style. It's so easy to get into that rut of production.

The audience creates its own personality, I've noticed, in the first five minutes. They will either be generous, funny, silly, withholding, academic, analytical, grudging. And I'm fascinated with how that gets constructed, because it happens right away.

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.

And there was a beutiful view But nobody could see Cause everybody on the island Was saying Look at me! Look at me.

I really like books that you can kind of hear as much as think about, that are so graphic and visual.

Why do you have to translate and decode things? Just let the image be. It will have a special kind of reality that it won't once it's decoded.
