I've never seen a postcard of my work in a museum.

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

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 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.

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.
