I still go to church occasionally. I went the other day and found peace.

With mania, is it dangerous to ride that euphoric feeling. You feel very animated and creative I would fill journals with drawings. It feels good and you want it to last, but it can lead to being delusional. The delusions can be as real as you thinking you can fly.

We are in this time of corporations being so greedy and global. Some people want to call it the apocalypse. When I was born it was half the people on the planet. It has doubled in my life time. This is not sustainable for the earth of course we are going somewhere. So we have to live preciously, we have to live each day with care!

As an artist you have a choice. You can add more confusion and darkness to the world or you can shine a light, make a beauty.

Then I got this idea in my head that magazines were like a gallery and if you got your magazine page ripped out and someone stuck it on their refrigerator, then that was a museum – someone’s private museum.

I had this duality growing up with my dad being a strict Catholic and his brother being a priest and my mother finding God in nature, so I've taken a little from both [traditions].
