I don't know what it was like in the '80s. I don't really even know what it was like in the '90s, because I was broke and wasn't selling any art. I was in a few group shows, but I didn't have a gallery until 2006.

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.

To some extent I've always taken the architecture of the space into account.

I didn't even realize that people bought contemporary art . . . that people actually paid for 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.

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

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.
