I come from suburban America. It was a very safe environment and it was a good place to come from in that it was a good place to leave.

I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.

Happiness? No, it's not there for me.

My lifestyle is bizarre, but the only thing you need to know is where the darkroom is.

I don't use recreational drugs, except for cocaine, hallucinogens, and nitrates.

I stand naked when I draw. God holds my hand and we sing together.

I'm looking for the unexpected. I'm looking for things I've never seen before.
