I think as a student I ended up liking so many different and conflicting things.

I don't really live the bohemian life. I come to work in Midtown everyday, along with all the work-a-day folk.

People will still make great art, but I think it's good to assume you will always be a failure. People were believing the opposite.

When I was younger and was working as a Dia guard I would go to see everything. I went to every opening. I was really interested in seeing and learning as much as I could.

I hated art as a kid. I didn't even like art class. I didn't like to draw. I would make my dad do all the drawings because I hated it so much.

Well, art has to be sexy.

I had no idea what to expect moving to New York. It's embarrassing to say, but I didn't even realize that people bought contemporary art... that people actually paid for it... I know that's really dumb. I was really naive. I had no idea artists made money.
