Money talks. It starts rumors about careers and complicity and speaks of the tragedies and triumphs of our social lives.

There are so many moments and works that influence us in what we do. Movies, music, TV and, most importantly, the profound everydayness of our lives.

All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different.

It's good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can't be personalized.

I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

This is a great time in our lives and careers.
