"Art making is a form of alchemy, in a way, because you are trying…to make gold from nothing. When it works very well is when you manage to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary."

"I’m acting on impulse in the drawings. Because they’re not so studied, they can capture something I didn’t anticipate. They’re more playful than the paintings, and that keeps the paintings from being too one-note."
