I think that every so-called history book and film biography should be prefaced by the statement that what follows is the author's rendition of events and circumstances.

I think there are different ways of being rigorous, and I am asking people to be as rigorous in their pleasure as in their criticism.

I think what I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.

I feel uncomfortable with the term public art, because I'm not sure what it means. If it means what I think it does, then I don't do it. I'm not crazy about categories.

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.

I think people have to set up little battles. They have to demonize people whom they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it's the ideological framing of the debate that scares me.
