Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

I never heard the term "art world" until I was in my thirties, and I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" It's the world, and we all live in the world!

I think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard.

I really loved music and went to a lot of clubs to see bands and dance. I loved going out.

Photographers talk about their shoot ratio. Like four to one, six to one, ten to one! Whatever, I'm, like, seven billion to one. It is just ridiculous. But sometimes if you can hit it just right and get everything out of the way, something will resonate on multiple levels.

I like getting stuff out of the way so you can see something clearly, see it sharply, have it be new again.

I'm in all of my work, and there's nowhere to hide when you make work.
