When I perform I'm very extroverted and I wear my heart on my sleeve and some people don't like that. They're embarrassed for me.

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'm probably the worst person in the world to give advice to puppeteers. My whole attitude towards puppets from the beginning was not one of love, but it was like anti-puppetry.

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.

Puppets are pure form then ideas for performance come out of that. It's always the form and the visuals and that's why I like to make puppets in a gallery or museum. They're not often in those contexts.

If they make the deadline because the Shiites and Kurds essentially rammed a draft through over Sunni Arab objections, there will be hell to pay.

I throw dignity out the window, and just become a creature of the moment on the stage. I act like I'd never act in real life.

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

I'm just a mule with blinders on, I can't help myself.

I want to communicate. I do every artist does. That's why you're an artist.
