I think about my art works as paintings, because they refer to the history of painting. I also have to think about them as sculptures, because every part of the process is part of the project. They're sculptures because they play on the idea of what should be hanging in a gallery. In that sense they're also kind of ready-mades.

Art is fast, but with art you're tied down. That's too negative. What I mean is, you have a business and a place that you go every day. I guess some artists do move around.

I started playing heavy-metal guitar because that's what I liked. And then I got into classical guitar because it was so technically complicated.

I'm afraind of losing my sense of trying to always be better. I love competition against myself.
