I feel strong in my belief, based on my widely traveled collaborations, that a one-to-one contact through art contains potent peaceful powers, and is the most non-elitist way to share information, hopefully seducing us into creating mutual understandings for the benefit of all.

A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil and fabric.

If you don't have trouble paying the rent, you have trouble doing something else; one needs just a certain amount of trouble.

Every time I've moved, my work has changed radically.

By the time you establish your priorities, there really isn't any fun or need to interest yourself in what you're doing. And this I find disastrous.

My art is about paying attention - about the extremely dangerous possibility that you might be art.
