I had always taken photos - always, always taken photos, made movies.

I think I feel much more at home in studio.

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.

Whatever came out came out. That was it. That's what you live with. If you don't like it, that's your problem.

I was good at art - always good at art.

After I did the drawings of trees combining them with words, I started doing - I did that for a very short time. Then it kind of - that sort of evolved into just showing the branches of a tree coming down into the trunk and then going into the root system. So I showed both the branches and the roots of a tree, which were about equal. There is as much going on under the ground as is going on above the ground, which you can see.

I relied mainly on other artists, who I think are smarter than critics, any critics or curators or anybody like that. They really know.
