"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."

"Almost right from the beginning of my career, people were using my work to describe what was going on with appropriation in the art world—even before it was called appropriation, when that famous show was at Artists Space in New York. I wasn’t even in the show, but a lot of people assume I was because my work eventually went on to be emblematic of that."
