I Don't Think Irony Is About Judgment; I Think Irony Is Something Like, "oh, That's Interesting," Because It's Not Something I Think One Starts Off To Achieve. I Think It's Just Something That Presents Itself. And If It Does, I Find It's Usually Optimistic, Not Negative In Its Terms.

My Work Is A Support System For People To Feel Good About Themselves.

Art Was Something I Could Do Better. It Gave Me A Sense Of Self.

The Job Of The Artist Is To Make A Gesture And Really Show People What Their Potential Is. It's Not About The Object, And It's Not About The Image; It's About The Viewer. That's Where The Art Happens.
