Exposing something that's painful or raw or not so pleasant. That seems to be the dramatic motor of documentaries, exposure.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no line between high art and pop art, and there should be no line.

I don't like the idea of busing children all over the country. It's not safe. And there doesn't seem to be that much of an urgent need for it to be done.

Follow your heart, and your pleasure in art. Don’t do what you think is going to be making you money, or what you’re parents want you to do, or what that beautiful girl or guy thinks you should be doing. Do what you love. It’s going to lead to where you want to go. Go out there and make the world more beautiful. I know you can.

I want to reach out and entertain people. I want people to come to a museum that have never been in a museum before. I want also to have enough art references in it that would satisfy the most sophisticated museum goer.

I would advise puppeteering for any artist. It's a way to break down pretensions. It's a sculpture that can talk. It's a painting that can talk. And it's pure play. I think every artist needs to stay in touch with the idea of playing. The artist should always be playing, always. All art is performance.

It would be really embarrassing to introduce yourself as somebody who makes beauty.

Some of these bulls are gonna' spin those cowboys so fast, they'll look like a frog in a blender.

I have some sort of performing gene that's just there and I cannot explain it but I want to connect with people through a camera or on a stage. I just can do it. I just have an intuitive sense of it. So I love doing that, I love going into that trance.

I can't help it. I always focus in on the negative.

But I think frustration is hilarious. One of my missions is to bring humor into fine art. It's sacred.
