"From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say. It’s about these other things that you don’t say."

"I had visited a ventriloquist who had a picture of a box of cookies on legs hanging on his wall- a very odd photo. And it jogged a very early memory that I had, a really early memory of dancing cigarette packets, prancing across the stage on early black-and-white TV. And I started to think about not having a brain- just being able to balance these huge objects- and almost morph and become one with these objects."
