I'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.

I was pretty Irish Catholic Jersey, the middle of the line.

The cool part about New York is that you can do that. You can talk to all the people you admire.

I was growing up in the suburbs; I was one of eight kids. So I did have a community when I was younger, but all of my brothers and sisters were older.

Everyone started to have a camera. That's when I started to travel outside of New York and go into nature.

I didn't have much of a life in crime as a graffiti writer.

I spent all of my money on film. I remember I would do these set-design jobs or transcribe or just anything to get, like, a $100 check and go immediately to Adorama and buy expired film.
