I consider drawings finished works of art, first of all. However, the ideas can be something that can be developed into something larger. I don't make so many drawings anymore since I'm working with language. I used to make more when I worked with sculptural things, especially the wire pieces.

And we live in a kind of realm of language and words and so forth. So we can sort of relate to them. They don't exist without us. We create words.

I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.

I really kind of liked the fluidity and not really being tied down. I saw the kind of people that were tenured and what happened to them there and I thought it was kind of death, really.

But artistically, my art I kept very separate from my political beliefs, deliberately and very, very rarely would I allow that kind of thing into it.

Words have very potent meanings and people read them and they react to them personally. They are very suggestive in terms of your life and things like that.

I have a lot of ideas for art. And it is really - I don't really have time to do them all.
