My mother and father had a terrible marriage. They celebrated their wedding anniversary one year with their friends. Why did they celebrate? Maybe because they had lasted so many years without killing each other.

We make such terrible mistakes with visual choices about beauty.

The function of the artist in a disturbed society is to give awareness of the universe, to ask the right questions, and to elevate the mind.

There are so many rules in the art world. I don't like rules and I break them all the time. I don't care if people think I'm overexposed. What I care about is if I'm going to run out of energy. Overexposure is only a problem if you are drained of energy and cannot come up with new ideas. Every artist has to recognize that and know when to stop for a moment.

Most artists create foundations where they put their own work. Here I'm not putting my own work. I'm just creating the chambers.

I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.

I am only interested in the ideas that become obsessive and make me feel uneasy. The ideas that I'm afraid of.
