Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place. ↗

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material. ↗

Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self. ↗

I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising. ↗

I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery. ↗

I remember being an art student and going to the Whitney in 1974 to see the exhibition of Jim Nutt, the Chicago imagist. It was then I transferred to school in Chicago, all because of that show. ↗

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger. ↗

I'm always working. If I'm not in my studio I become quite nervous. ↗
