The 'believe' tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe.

The hair is real - it's the head that's a fake.

The narrative oftentimes is that everything that comes out of the hood is 'real,' and so I thought, 'I'll base it on the absurd, the not real. I'll twist the idea of real on its head and see if I can get away with it. I'll make paintings that come not from a place but through an abstract gaze.'

Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.

Charlie Sheen gave me a signed headshot. I think it said, 'Keep it real.' But 'real' was spelled 'reel,' like a film reel.

Until I'm on the set of a film, to me it's still not for real.

Modern fake fur looks so much like real fur that the moment it leaves the atelier, no one can tell it's not the real thing. And I've struggled with that.

I have no real tattoos. I wear my bruises and tons of scars as my tattoos.
