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.

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

I was really naïve. I had no idea artists made money.

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

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 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.
