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.

The Internet has a lot of solutions. I found an insane way to trap chipmunks - it was too crazy not to try.

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.

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.

The way I make drawings is just with a desktop Epson C88 printer and they are designed to break, they are really cheap. So I bought a lot of them before it became impossible to find them.

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