"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"I don’t understand why people pick up on that I’m so involved with violence, when the whole world is so involved with violence...I am not involved in violence; I am involved with reporting the violence or at least a little bit of a different take on the six o’clock news."
- Ida Applebroog
