"Words are just a way we communicate. Images are a way we communicate. And I couldn't figure out why they had to be in different baskets."

"I don’t know at what point I would have discovered them, but Goya and Duchamp are probably my favorites. It’s Goya’s use of grotesqueness, making things horrific seem comical (but still horrific and poignant), and the ability to be recording, much less living through, those events but balancing that with his own version of society portraiture."
-Cindy Sherman
