I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.

My forms are not abstractions of things in the real world. They're also not symbols. I would say that my job is to invent these forms and to put them together in a way that keeps your interest, to give the forms a quirky identity so you can engage with them, so you realize there's an inner intelligence or logic.

The world of painting has nothing to do with the art world.

I'm interested in the real world.

Being offended is part of being in the real world.

Racism is unacceptable in the real world, and it's unacceptable online.
