I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting.

And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others.

It takes a lot of help - nature, friends, family, craftsmen - for me to make what I make.

I think there are lots of ways to make good work. You can throw big bucks at a project and make what some would call crap, or you can work very modestly with eloquently moving results.

It's all about learning your craft and honing it in and really paying attention to people who are doing it and what their advice is. It's like anything: it takes years and years and years. A lot of it comes down to work ethic.

I've always had this idea that you have to make the most of things.

I feel like you only have so much time to make stuff. I'm definitely aware of that. I'm also excited about it.

I'm always building images. Even when I go out and put a look together, it's in my head the whole day, like, how I'm going to create this whole story. But I'm never satisfied; it's always a work in progress no matter what. Every day is working.

Great art is never produced for its own sake. It is too difficult to be worth the effort.

Part of making art is learning how you make it best. I'm not great at sitting down at a desk and writing for three hours. I write best verbally, talking through an idea with people, so I do my best work when I collaborate.
