“I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.”

I change my mind so much I need two boyfriends and a girlfriend.

I’ve always felt like the underdog, and I’m comfortable with that label.

You can’t move mountains by whispering at them.

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn’t worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

I tend to put my foot in my mouth. I’m not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.

My definition of freedom is knowing who you are, and then being it. No matter what anyone else is doing. And naked parties of course.

For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.

Right from the start, you were a thief, you stole my heart.

I’m such a control freak, and it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.

I believe there’s 31 flavors to be tasted. I’m just living my life. I don’t want to be your kind of good.

I don’t try to be candy coated. I don’t try to walk on eggshells. I am what I am. Love me or hate me.

Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women’s rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what’s going on in Africa – it stops us from thinking in general.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts, and put me in a school. Three years later I got my first championship in China.

When we share art we extend a hand. We hold a mirror. We adjust our focus. We hold each other. We weave a collaborative story. Together.

For work, I wear art; in real life, I wear clothes.

Tenderness can be just as abstract as insanity.

Reserve the language of sculpture for the art of sculpture. Lest you confuse beauty with the shape of a jaw or art with the size of a stomach.
