Gut level is a good level to deal with life, and for me, I have to say that Buddhism makes sense for me because it's how I'm an artist.

I'm a real workaholic.

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.

Writers want to summarize: What does this mean? What did we learn from this? That's a very 19th-century way of thinking about art, because it assumes that it should make our lives better or teach us something.

My work is more about trying to ask good questions and not trying to come up with big shows. Every fashion company is doing that, every car company is doing that.

You need to try to master the ability to feel sad without actually being sad.
