For me, a lot of my work has dealt with what it means to be at the center of the universe and how alienating and kind of seductive it is. A lot of my work is very aggressive and very visual, but at the same time, it has a lot of tension in it and makes you kind of uncomfortable sometimes.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

What drives the creative person is that we see it all.

There should always be something gratuitous about art, just as there seems to be, according to the new-wave cosmologists, something gratuitous about the universe.

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting.

To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.

I do have that mindset - that most good art comes from some turmoil, from someone trying to come to some equilibrium, or come up and get a breath.

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.

One of the reasons that art is important to me is sometimes it actually feels more coherent than life. It orders the chaos.

In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.
