• In college, all my friends were graffiti writers, but I never wrote graffiti. I wanted to participate and do something cool on the street, so I'd make these portraits of people.

• Sí, cuando sea mayor y tenga mi propia casa, nada de sillones de felpa y cortinas de encaje para mí. Y nada de plantas de hule. Tendré un escritorio como éste en mi salón y paredes blancas y un papel secante verde limpio todos los sábados por la noche y una hilera de brillantes lápices amarillos siempre afilados para escribir y un cuenco marrón dorado con una flor o algunas hojas o bayas siempre en él y libros. . . libros. . . libros. . . . .

• Pain is like a new room in your house that you never knew you had. If you had known, you would have bolted and locked the room past any entering. But truly, it is a room like any other, four glaring white walls and a dark hard floor, and if you don't try to get out, it is possible to remain in it. Once you tried to get out, you ... couldn't ... stand ... it. Don't think of getting out.

• It's crazy how intelligent kids can be at a very young age and how they know what they know. I came out of the womb drawing on everything; I used to draw on my mother's white furniture and her white walls with her red lipstick and my pencils. Little did she know that would later materialize into me doing what I do now - I'm a painter as well and a micromechanical engineer.

• In a way, composing on the melodic level is an expression of a melodic truth, almost like a geometric truth. If it has clarity, other people will recognize it. There's no way of isolating it in a gallery on a white wall and saying, "This is a work of art. This is a mathematical proof."
