Being an artist is supposed to be a scam, not a career.

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

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

My father is not around any more, so I cannot ask him to do my drawings for me. So, I had to find a different way. And I came up with the solution to use the printers then; I wasn't doing anything complicated. The nature of the printer is efficiency in itself and about working, being productive.

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.

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.
