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

We are all frustrated with computers, all the time... But we also always develop a relationship with computers these days - something my parents never had... there%u2018s always a kind of negotiation, sometimes you are in tune with it and other times you are fighting with it.

I came late to galleries. A lot of people my age started their careers younger, so I was spared seeing that side for a long time.

Well, art has to be sexy.

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 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.

I'm always looking at the computer. I make all of my work on the computer at some point or another. Almost all of the paintings come from a file.
