Memory Is Your Image Of Perfection.

It's Really Hard For Me To Use The Term 'history' In The Singular, Because It Suggests A Reductivist View Of How Moments And Events Congeal And Reflect The Passage Of Time. I'd Rather Stick To The Pluralness Of 'histories' In Order To Suggest The Simultaneity, The Parallel Forces At Work, Which Produce Lived Experience.

Prominence Is Cool, But When The Delusion Kicks In It Can Be A Drag. Especially If You Choose To Surround Yourself With Friends And Not Acolytes.

I Mean, Making Art Is About Objectifying Your Experience Of The World, Transforming The Flow Of Moments Into Something Visual, Or Textual, Or Musical, Whatever. Art Creates A Kind Of Commentary.

Art Is As Heavy As Sorrow, As Light As A Breeze, As Bright As An Idea, As Pretty As A Picture, As Funny As Money, And As Fugitive As Fraud!

I Think People Have To Set Up Little Battles. They Have To Demonize People Whom They Disagree With Or Feel Threatened By. But It's The Ideological Framing Of The Debate That Scares Me.
