I don't believe that artists should show the world as it is. We have this ability to create something better, so we ought to do it.

As an artist, you eventually have to get over your own self-censorship to make work that is true and honest.

I see art as an escape from reality.

I am attracted to people who were born into circumstances that were meant to crush them, but they fought against the bullshit of the world.

"The challenge now will be to preserve the experimental, radical, independent spirit in terms of the choices we make and yet work as an institution."
