What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional, intellectual experience, that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing.

Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.

When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.

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

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.

I'm constantly exposing myself to art and that inspires me.

If you really want to be an artist, you search yourself, and you find a lot of it comes from earlier times. I have pretty much built the work around my experiences. When I've moved from one place to another, the work has changed.

I'm always looking at other artists and trying to get inspired by different things.

Knowing now what goes into making a successful artist, it's disheartening.
