When you start a collection, you have to push yourself to limits that may make you uncomfortable.

A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.

A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy.

Collections collect collectors. It doesn't work the other way around. A certain object misses its own kind and communicates that to some person who surrounds it with rhyming items; these become at first a quorum, then a selective, addictive madness.

Always my collections are made of different influences.

Regardless of how good or bad a collection might be, it's a letdown after the show is over. It's done. Something you've worked on for months is just over.

All my collections are very personal. It's also because I'm so involved in making the collections.

I love collections of things, but always in moderation.

I'm not a collector. I toss things out all the time.

I'm not a collector.
