There's very few geniuses that come and revolutionize everything. For the rest of us that want to be artists and have something to say, it's a lot of work and a lot of luck.

I try to physically and mentally immerse myself in whatever it is I am doing. That is good for me as an artist. I am always looking for that part that I have never done before, which makes it all the more difficult, because people want to hire you for what they've already seen you do.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.

Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.

Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.

I hope what I do has an art to it, and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained.

It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.

I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.
