I can't let things go when it comes to stop painting. It has to be my way.

Just too much fast thinking all the time. I think of so many things all at once, it gets exhausting. You start seeing all of these connections around you . . . Everything is connected, composed, coordinated, choreographed. If you start paying attention to these connections, it can drive you insane. And that's why making work is so good, because that's when I'm not thinking, just making.

Being honest in the spotlight is the worst idea . But I do like when artists are honest and are able to build a persona for the artwork with their honesty. That's really good.

Of course, my painting outfit has to be the focus of the shoot to promote a designer, or if I wear my own it will inspire someone's next collection!

I never paid attention to Michael Jackson, but when he died, it was like an explosion in some strange way. This intensity was released, something really powerful. But how can I say that? I also like to keep a hidden force behind my work.

Thinking is sometimes too intense, so once I start feeling pain, if it is not too much pain, it eases my mind.

I really like players who are not naturally gifted and have to achieve their success by other means. I like when people have to win against their own limitations,rather than just being phenomenally blessed.
