I was also very interested in music. I used to hang out in jazz joints, you know, the Five Spot and so forth when I was, you know, a senior, really, when I was a little bit older. And I thought, well, maybe I could, you know, work with music. I can't play at all.

If you are operating in a certain way and you are thinking in a certain direction, suddenly opportunities arise. And if you are open to it, if you are not locked into your style too much or to what you think works.

I wanted my style to be very recognizable.

You can't make somebody care about what you're doing. Either they get it, either there's that connection - or they don't.

I think you say the word in your mind anyway, you know. When you look at a word, you say it.

The space between things is important to me. The projections, that darkness between the words or the images is very important.

The first place I try to go when I have free time is the museums. I'm a big museum person.
