The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.

I had said that when the first Bush got elected that I would leave the country. And when the second Bush wasn't even elected properly.

I have very healthy strong relationships with women.

I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.

I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures".

As a non-Catholic, and since I was a child, I have been obsessed with the ritual and the beauty of Catholic art. I look at Renaissance art all the time.

When I put my big retrospective together in '96 [for the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York], I saw that there were all these pictures of people inside looking out. All these pictures of women in water and mirrors. I don't know what it means.
