Doing art at Marlborough, where I went to school, was really quite tough, and I knew that it wasn't the direction I wanted to go. I'd rather show art and give people the joy of seeing it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art, well good art at least, takes you to a place you go during the experience of it, and then after you experience it you are different.
I think art comes out of meaningful experiences, and it's hard to make art when your meaningful experience is getting into your electric car and driving from your fancy house in the Hills to your fancy job in the Valley.
For the general public, my work is sometimes easier than a painting because there is someone addressing you; it can actually be a relief. What's interesting is the idea of a tourist randomly coming in and the experience they'll have.
I like all sorts of art, that's why I love wandering around The National Gallery.
I barely knew I wanted to be an artist. I liked my art classes and painting was fun, I guess, but I didn't realize that seeing the country was going to inspire me to further explore that... but that's what it did.
I don't want to be a film-maker. I think painting is far more exciting and profound.
For me, art is always a kind of theater.
Any excuse to live in New York and do art. Has to be one of the most rewarding experiences in the world.
Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.
I enjoyed art in school. I've always done little drawings and stuff like that. I don't really know what I'm doing with the painting, but I experiment.
