I've always had a very clear vision of what I wanted to do.

I used to change things in my early paintings to get the nuance or feeling I wanted, but now I plan everything in my head before I do it.

I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want. You've got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it.

In my art, I deconstruct and then I reconstruct, so visual perception is one of my primary interests.

I'm usually very analytical when I'm prepping stuff: real into the head thing.

I design my shots. I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say 'this is where I want to be... I want this look.

I look at the artistic process as like experiencing the world, channeling it through your personality and sending it back out there. That's the process.

Usually I commit to something in my head and then I start drawing.

I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.

I spend a lot of time preparing. I think a lot about what I want to do. I have prep books, little notebooks in which I write everything down before a sitting. Otherwise I would forget my ideas.
