I think of other artists as generous when I get inspired by their work. That's why I like curating. You don't want to take someone else's art and have your way with it. You've got to be respectful of them.

I think that fashion is industrial, whereas style is ideological. So they're not necessarily connected.

It's a shame when other people's gambling habits change the meaning of paintings or when fluctuations of value start to dictate how people perceive art because it's too expensive to be interesting or moving. That's when I get bummed out.

I think you have to be respectful to the people who want to talk to you.

When you mix fashion and politics, you get fascism. Politics have fashion, and it's bad; fashion has politics, that are ugly.

I was a pretty pretentious kid. I was always making art.
