मेरा अधिकांश काम बहुत ही अस्थायी और पल-दो-पल का होता है। आप इसे साथ ले जा सकते हैं या यहीं छोड़ सकते हैं। कला के लिए यह एक मुश्किल सौदा है, क्योंकि कला का एक काम आपको अमर बनाना भी माना जाता है, चाहे वह कलाकृति बनाकर हो या उसे खरीदकर।
Most of my work is very temporary, very provisional. You can take it with you or you can leave it. Which is a tough sell for art. Because part of what art is supposed to do is make you immortal, either by making it or owning it.

भले ही मैं खुद नाटकों में अभिनय नहीं करता, लेकिन मुझे थिएटर से बहुत प्यार है और शोबिज (मनोरंजन जगत) के प्रति मेरा एक फैन वाला नाता है। और कला के बारे में जो एक बात मुझे निराश करती है, वह यह है कि यह हमेशा किसीबीती हुई घटना की महज एक याद बनकर रह जाती है। इसलिए मैं जितना हो सके उतनी गहराई और सच्चाई तक पहुँचने की कोशिश करता हूँ।
Even though I'm not actually performing in the works, I love the theatrical and have this fan relationship to showbiz. And one of the things that's a disappointment to me about art is that it's always a memory of something that happened. So I try to get as intimate or as real as possible.

मुझे जिस बात से जूझना पड़ा है, वह यह है कि लोग (विशेषकर समीक्षक और क्यूरेटर) मेरी कला में जिस बात पर सवाल उठाते हैं, वह यह है कि मैं ऐसी चीजें बनाने की कोशिश करता हूँ जो गैलरी में पहुँचने तक कला जैसी लगती ही नहीं हैं।
One of the things I've had to struggle with is that part of what people find critically and curatorially questionable in my work is that I try to make things that don't read as art until they're in a gallery.

मैं नहीं चाहता कि मेरी समलैंगिक ज़िंदगी सड़कों पर यानी सेकंड एवेन्यू पर खुलेआम तमाशा बने। लेकिन साथ ही, अगर ऐसा हो भी जाए तो मुझे कोई परवाह नहीं।
I want my gay life to not wind up on the streets-on Second Avenue. But at the same time, I don't care if it does.

मुझे किताबें बनाना पसंद है। मेरे लिए, संग्रहालय में अपनी कोई तस्वीर टंगे होने जितना ही यह भी उतना ही शानदार है कि मेरी कोई किताब किसी पुरानी चीज़ों की दुकान (फ़्ली मार्केट) में मिल जाए।
I like to make books. To me, it's just as great to have some book of mine be in a flea market as it is to have a picture in a museum.

प्रसिद्ध होने की मेरी एक बड़ी वजह यह है कि इससे छपी हुई सामग्री तक मेरी पहुँच आसान हो जाती है। मुझे पोस्टकार्ड, किताबें और ऐसी छोटी-मोटी सभी चीज़ें बहुत पसंद हैं। मैं अपनी ज़ीन (छोटी पत्रिकाएँ) खुद भी बना सकता हूँ, लेकिन अगर पीछे किसी पब्लिशर का साथ हो तो काम आसान हो जाता है।
Part of my impetus to get famous is to have access to printed matter. I love all the stuff like postcards, books, little things. I can make my own zines, but it just helps if you've got somebody behind you publishing things.
