A lot of politics in art is just institutional critique, which, in my opinion, is not all that political.

In short, I'm pretty suspicious of the idea that there's a real and true and authentic world, and then a bunch of false ones.

I’d been listening to men talk since I arrived in New York City. That’s what men like to do. Talk. Profess like experts. When one finally came along who didn’t say much, I listened.

People who experience themselves as authentic are also experiencing themselves as myth, but that's not the narrative they're going with.

I am interested in risk, in art as well as in the realm of politics.

Making art was really about the problem of the soul, of losing it. It was a technique for inhabiting the world. For not dissolving into it.

People who are harder to love pose a challenge, and the challenge makes them easier to love. You're driven to love them. People who want their love easy don't really want love.
