In painting, the key is not taking myself seriously to the point where it kills sincerity.

If humor is not present, I tend to be concerned about the artist, or distrusting of what they're presenting - unless there is an obvious tragedy being talked about.

In the world of music, the audience is not just fans of music; they're fans of many things.

When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.

In painting, the key is not taking myself seriously to the point where it kills sincerity.

A great show means we have to connect; we have to prove to [the audience] that we do something great or blow their socks off, but it has to be with them if it's going to be sustained for any length of time.

One of the things that I love about painting is that I never consider myself to have an audience.
