Sometimes there's a vacuum that has to be covered.

My work is more driven by the creative word. It's immersed in other writing and printed work, rather than drawn so much from life or past experience.

It's very rare that someone gets the death penalty for charges of conspiracy, for his influence, for his Svengali-Rasputin act.

What social media has done - Facebook, Twitter - is show the audience. I don't have an audience. When I make my work, it just goes out into the ether. I have a thick skin and it just brings me down to earth, you know, to realize how out-there and far away and paltry the audience is that gets what I'm saying. It's depressing if I let it get to me. And it's the same with hanging a show, the way it's put up, like, three stories high and you can't read a single word.

When I see a train, I want to take it in my arms.

Sometimes there's a vacuum that has to be covered.

Art comes after the fact, as a witness to certain things that have happened.
