The idea of words and photos was something that appealed to me.

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.

Any artwork is part of something larger, grander and, you know, the situation that it's in is very important.

By being critical, you also develop your own style of what you like, what direction you want to move.

People ask me why I use words and the reason, of course, is that words talk to you. I mean, they're something that are generated inside of you and that you can relate to you.

I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.

I prefer music but sometimes if there's on talk radio - someone might be on that I like. I listen to the old - to "Air America," down at the - liberal talk shows and things like that I find kind of nice, their criticizing the conservatives. I find that quite relaxing, entertaining, but music, a lot of music.
