"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"How do you keep things going while allowing them to change? Drawing is very central to the way I work because it can be blown up, taken apart, given to another person to execute, put into a computer, eaten by the computer, spit out by the computer, redrawn as if the computer had thought of your drawing in the first place, shrunk back down to a tiny sketch, turned into a digital game. You can just keep on pushing it, like this infinite machine, which is very hard to do with almost anything else."
