To be making something as yet unformed, unknown - to be living in a deferred moment - is the most seductive way to exist.Collection: Seductive
I always credit; I never just steal something. I'm very much a product of everything that I've read and seen and heard or listened to.Collection: Credit
I've always made things either paintings, drawing, photographs, or writing. It's all kind of the same thing. It all involves saying more, I guess. It involves separating life, breaking off this chunk that's devoted to making something. There's a lot of pleasure in that, but there can also be a lot of struggle. There's always this fantasy that you could just live life and not have to think about it.Collection: Struggle
When you hate the thing that you're working on, that's when you question it.Collection: Hate
Describing some kinds of feelings comes across as too excessive in the first person. If you put it in the third person, you're taking a little bit of a distance, and that way it becomes more apprehensible to a viewer. You're always riding this fine line of risking saying too much, do you know what I mean? When you feel you're in that area, if you shift the address a little bit it can alter it.Collection: Distance
You can't be judgmental. You have to do your best not to be, I think.Collection: Thinking
I actually like a film in a gallery, because you don't have to show up at a certain time to see something, you can just walk in whenever. I like that freedom to be able to see something anytime. I personally don't mind watching something knowing that it's not the beginning and then just letting it run its cycle.Collection: Running
Of course it's a lot easier for me if I think of myself as a character to say certain things; it gives me a kind of liberty to say things that I otherwise wouldn't. It's always my hope that it will come across as me and not me at the same time.Collection: Character
