I think I feel much more at home in studio.

ne thing you have to develop as an artist is a confidence in what you're doing and that you're right about it.

And the mind actually does generate electrical currents - very weak ones and not necessarily ones that can be picked up by anyone else.

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

Teaching I realized took up a lot of my time. I was a kind of a teacher that spent time with students, spoke to them after class, tried to help them out. I'd talk with them personally about their work and try to get out of them what they were thinking about, forcing them to thinking seriously and not just falling back on all the ideas that they had picked up someplace. And so I took my job teaching very seriously and that - as a result, it took up a lot of time.

If I'm reading something and a word pops up, or I just catch it, I try to mark it off and then, later, write it down on a piece of paper and add it to my list.

I don't have a dream project. I don't really think in those terms, to tell you the truth.
