"When I was nine, I asked my Dad, â€˜Can I have your movie camera? That old, wind-up 8-millimeter movie camera thatâ€™s in your drawer?â€™ And he goes, â€˜Sure, take it.â€™ And I took it, and I started making movies with it, and I started being as creative as I could, and never once in my life did my parents ever say, â€™ What youâ€™re doing is a waste of time.â€™ Neverâ€¦.. I know there are kids out there that donâ€™t have that support system. So, if youâ€™re out there and youâ€™re listening, listen to me: If you wanna be creative, get out there and do it. Itâ€™s not a waste of time."

“The only way to make a criticism of something is to really participate in it. I'm a completely capitalist person. I participate in commodity culture and the fashion world. High art is a money-making vehicle. We're not making art in a vacuum. We're not shopping in the woods. These are all things that we do within the larger system of capitalism. For me to critique it, I'm also participating in it. That's obvious, I feel. In my work, I participate in the things that I critique. I satirize the things that I love and know well and find problematic.”

“O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone; and you have no longer an aristocratical, no longer a democratical spirit.
