Learning Is A Tunnel Experience

Art Should Take What Is Complex And Render It Simply. It Takes A Lot Of Skill, Human Understanding, Stamina, Courage, Energy, And Heart To Do That.

I Am Interested In Personal Stories Because That's When People Become Expressive, Spontaneous And Heartfelt.

I Think That Art Is Supposed To Be Ahead Of The Times.

Commit To Finding The True Nature Of Art. Go For That Thing No One Can Teach You.

Some People Study A Text Very Deeply. The People Are My Text. I Study Their Words And What Their Words Sound Like, Over And Over Again. When I Was A Kid, My Grandfather Said That "if You Say A Word Often Enough, It Becomes You." Thinking Of That Later In Life Gave Me This Idea That I Could Try To Become America By Learning The Words Of People From Many Aspects Of The Country. It Doesn't Matter How Educated They Are. By Living In The World And Living Their Experiences, They Bring Extraordinary Truths. I Try To Do Those Truths Justice.
