One must accept the fact that others don’t see what you do.

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

Don't get the green disease of envy. Don't be fooled by success and money. Don't let anything come between you and your work.

Look at it this way - a totem pole is just a decorated tree. My work is a confessional.

Artists have to be useful. They have to fill a role.

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.

Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation-and I like that.
