I was trying to write an autobiography using prints and patterns that reference emotional, psychological, and personal development in my work, as a person growing up, figuring out who I was. I used fabrics to stand in for occurrences.

When I started working with mirrors, it seemed to be the perfect material to stand in for that waiting.

I wasn't interested in holding onto the evidence of things.

I work from a personal place, and the work has personal meaning for me.

My latest works are these things with light bulbs.

But most people don't come up to me and express a lot of emotion.

As a viewer, my own work elicits strong emotional reaction from me.

I move very slowly. It's usually material first. I sit with the material for a long time.

It's as if I were collaborating with myself, revealing my relationship to the material. My hand would make the drawing. Then my mouth would transmit it.

However, some of my work is very subtle, and one should expect very subtle reactions to it.

Color is an intense experience on its own.

Often, I work out of my work. One work takes me to the next thing.

I'm an average person.

But, Tarantino has seen all of my movies. He's seen my good stuff, he's seen my bad stuff, he's seen the ones I directed, he's read my autobiography. There's an awful lot of things he knows about me, all of which I think had something to do with his casting.
