Horses are like people - they have different personalities. They can be nice, friendly and hard-working, or awkward, difficult and lazy. If horses were people, some would be on the dole, and others would be entrepreneurs.

Horses have really distinct personalities, and they're magical in many ways.

I think it is more of an intuitive, circular kind of personality, for starters. And, as I say of horses, the secret to breeding great horses is the three B's: bones, brains, and balance. If you look at art, it shares some of the same qualities.

The horses are all characters, all personalities. Some you get along with, some you don't, some might take a bit longer.

I grew up with horses when I was a kid in Argentina. I like them. I respect them. I'm careful around them. You never know what they're going to do. They're endlessly interesting. I've had some good acting partners that were horses over the years.

I am always rethinking how art is perceived and received, questioning our relationship to art. That's always been a constant.

You must in all Airs follow the strength, spirit, and disposition of the horse, and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order, and nothing else.

In the past, art was admired and revered from afar. Today, there is more of an interactive relationship between the art and the person who admires it.

Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

The relationship between art and a job is not quite linear, but I really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid.
