I was raised a Catholic. But I am not religious. In my work, I am interested in real flesh and blood.

When I was growing up, all the women in my house were using needles. I've always had a fascination with the needle, the magic power of the needle. The needle is used to repair damage. It's a claim to forgiveness. It is never aggressive, it's not a pin.

My knives are like a tongue - I love, I do not love, I hate. If you don’t love me, I am ready to attack. I am a double-edged knife.

I have kept a diary as long as I can remember, and drawings are really another kind of diary.

Art is manipulation without intervention.

I am a lonely runner, but I am a long-distance runner.

Tell your own story, and you will be interesting.
