Two of my favorite artists are Josh Smith and Joe Bradley. But I argued against them for years, until I grew to love them and felt stupid for my immediate reaction towards their work. Now, I wouldn't be happier than to simply be their friend and to talk to them about what got them making art that was years ahead of my understanding. I never went to school for art or was told what to like or when. So every day is a learning process, like most of life.

The people who I thought would be the hardest to work with were the easiest, and the people I thought would be the easiest were actually the hardest.

The last thing I wanna do is sit home and watch television.

I'm not an artist or a collector. I'm a skateboard kid with no one to tell me if I'm not doing things the right way. Low expectations reap great rewards.

I just figured out hustles to get by, like maybe selling my clothes. I wanted to travel around and be broke and live in sketchy apartments.
