"If commercialization is putting my art on a shirt so that a kid who can't afford a $30,000 painting can buy one, then I'm all for it."

"I am becoming much more conscious of everything. I am seeing everything for the first time."

"The energy of the city is what feeds my work."

"My drawings are about life and death, love and war, and all the things that happen in between."

"Art is a universal language."
