I had always worked. I always had part-time jobs.

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

I don't really use still photography very much anymore except to document my work.

I'm always looking for relations between my work and the old masters.

I never stop thinking about what I have to do. Let's put it that way. The only thing that takes me out of that is probably a film. I watch a lot of movies.

I may have a lot of political opinions but it doesn't necessarily come into my work. I keep the two worlds separate.

I have to say, I'm not someone who's really big into my family history - never really was very curious about it. The only thing I know about it is what I picked up from my aunts and parents.
