I was at one point thinking about being an art historian, when I was in school. And not being an artist, but I decided I was going to be an artist but I'm really mad for art history and the masters mostly.

I like working late at night and then going into the house and sitting down and watching a movie and then going to sleep.

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

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

I am an artist who works very well under pressure, in fact. I like to have deadlines.

And style, by the way, is a very important thing. It is like your signature, your handwriting or it is something that you develop that is your way of presenting yourself and also your way of looking at what art - of how to make art.

Most of the criticism of my work was pretty good, but occasionally it would not be. And I just sort of felt that they absolutely didn't get what I was doing. It was their limitations on what they thought art should be or what they thought my work should be in relation to earlier work or whatever.
