Sometimes audiences love you because they get to boo you.

A good film is always nourishing. It's not about it being hopeful or bleak; it's about how it touches you, how it moves or stirs you.

I think it's really important as an artist not to be drawn to the haters, because there are so many people who are nice and quiet.

Sometimes audiences love you because they get to boo you.

I think one important thing that happens in the studio is accepting yourself as the enemy and painting from that point of view. So instead of pointing the finger outward and passing judgment, instead, you start with yourself as your own worst enemy.

I think it's important to make art that is not that easily absorbable, that is a challenge to the authorities.

If you don't have your unconscious working for you, you're really out of luck as an artist.
