I like to change. A new lamp, a piece of art, can transform a room.
I hope I will always have the ability to create art and live in a world where I can speak freely, and I can inspire people. I don't know what form that will take.
I love being photographed, or I should say I love the art of photography. It's about people taking photographs of you, stealing them, and then presuming or assuming or captioning. Words can never be taken back, photographs can never be taken back, nothing can ever be taken back.
I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.
I don't want no lies, I don't watch TV. I don't waste my time, won't read a magazine.
I used to believe in the pretty pictures that were all around me, but now I know for sure that I was stupid.
Rita Haywood gave good face.
You took a pretty picture and you smashed it into bits, sank me into blackness and you sealed it with a kiss.
Do I have to change my name, will it get me far? Should I lose some weight, am I gonna be a star?
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it, Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it...
I get strength from my art - all the paintings I own are powerful.
In some respects I will never die. Because art is immortal. What we leave behind and what we create - the energy that we put out into the world is eternal.
Art can heal it if art is allowed to exist. And if art is slowly wiped off the face of the planet, then what tools do we have to reach people, to appeal to them and all of their senses?
I think that its an artist's responsibility to have a point of view. Society takes its cue from popular art. People need something to look to, something to provoke them into questioning whether they completely hate something or completely love something.
I think art should be controversial. I think it should make people think.
What is the big deal about Eminem? Since when is offensive language a reason for being unpopular? I like the fact that Eminem is brash and angry and politically incorrect. At least he has an opinion. He's stirring things up. He's provoking a discussion. He's making people's blood boil. He's reflecting what's going on in society right now. That is what art is supposed to do.
I love the art form, but working in film can be a disheartening experience.
Art keeps me alive. I've obviously been devastated or heartbroken all my life, since my mother's death.
Trying to be a professional dancer, paying my rent by posing nude for art classes, staring at people staring at me naked. Daring them to think of me as anything but a form they were trying to capture with their pencils and charcoal. I was defiant. Hell-bent on surviving. On making it. But it was hard and it was lonely, and I had to dare myself every day to keep going.
Nowadays New-York is not the exciting place it used to be. It still has great energy; I still put my finger in the socket. But it doesn't feel alive, cracking with that synergy between the art world and music world and fashion world that was happening in the 80s. A lot of people died.
