Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.

You're free because you don't have to expose yourself, and you can go wild, and let your id completely out of its box, and nobody will see you because you're operating through a surrogate. It's an opportunity to crack open your shell, to melt down yourself, and just let yourself go. It's a form of catharsis for me.

The only tip I have for an artist is perseverance... Never give up.

I throw dignity out the window, and just become a creature of the moment on the stage. I act like I'd never act in real life.

Puppets are pure form then ideas for performance come out of that. It's always the form and the visuals and that's why I like to make puppets in a gallery or museum. They're not often in those contexts.

I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.

Once the cameras rolling or the audience is in the seats, I'm on. I can't help it. I go into a trance.
