"In the paintings where it's there—the tenderness—I work for it. I'm not afraid of it. If I could put my bleeding heart in there, I would."

"I would say the concept of repetition and revision, like you have in jazz or jungle music- where a conductor might ask to have a phrase played and then repeated and there’s this kind of call and response between the musician and the conductor, between the DJ and the audience- is central to my work. And what happens is that stackings develop between call and response."
