कला के साथ जीना जिंदगी जीने का एक बेहतर तरीका है—जरूरी नहीं कि आप कला बनाएं, बल्कि कला के बीच रहना ज्यादा मायने रखता है। मुझे लगता है कि यह दुनिया में अपनी नजर से खूबसूरती दिखाने की कोशिश करने जितना ही साधारण है। आखिरकार, बात तो खूबसूरती की ही है।

Living through art is a better way to live - not necessarily making art, but being surrounded by art. I think it's just as banal as trying to show my version of the beauty in the world. It's about beauty at the end of the day.

मैंने सबसे बढ़िया सबक तब सीखा जब बचपन में चर्च की प्रार्थना के दौरान एक पादरी ने मुझसे कहा था, "जब भी तुमसे कोई गलती हो, तो ऐसा दिखाओ मानो वह उसी रस्म का हिस्सा हो।" यह कितनी खूबसूरत बात है!

The best trick I learned was when a priest came to me when I was an altar boy and said, "Always, when you make a mistake, pretend it's ritual." It's beautiful!

मुझे कंट्री म्यूज़िक सचमुच बहुत पसंद है, बस वही तीन कॉर्ड्स और दिल की सच्चाई का मेल।

I really love country music, just this idea of three chords and the truth.

मुझे थिएटर और धर्म की तरफ जो चीज़ खींचती है, वह है ऐसे अनुष्ठान जो आपके भीतर भावनाएं जगा सकें। यह एक दिलचस्प तरीके से बहुत साधारण सा लगता है। विजुअल आर्ट में भी मकसद भावनाएं जगाना ही होता है, लेकिन उसका तरीका थोड़ा ज़्यादा सूक्ष्म होता है।

What draws me to theater and religion are these rituals made to make you feel emotion. It's so banal in an interesting way. In visual art it's about making you feel emotional, but it's more subtle.

मैंने जो ज़्यादातर काम किए हैं, वे उस जगह से प्रेरित हैं। आमतौर पर मेरी कलाकृतियां उस खास जगह को ध्यान में रखकर ही बनाई जाती हैं। कई प्रदर्शनियों में पुरानी कलाकृतियां होती हैं, लेकिन जब मैं किसी प्रदर्शनी के लिए कोई नया काम करता हूँ, तो वह उस जगह या म्यूज़िअम के विचार से संवाद करता हुआ प्रतीत होता है।

A lot of the stuff I've done is inspired by the location. Usually my works are pretty site-specific. There are a lot of shows that are older works, but often when I do new work for a show, it tends to talk to the space or the idea of the museum.

मुझे अक्सर अपनी परफ़ॉर्मेंसेस को सिनेमैटिक तरीके से रिकॉर्ड करना बहुत पसंद है। परफ़ॉर्मेंस खुद देखने से ज़्यादा उसकी सिनेमैटिक रिकॉर्डिंग ज़्यादा दिलचस्प होती है।

I often really like to play with documenting my performances cinematically. Cinematic documentation is much more interesting than the performance itself.

मुझे लगता है कि रोलिंग स्टोन्स का मेरा पसंदीदा गाना "नो एक्सपेक्टेशंस" है। मैं हमेशा गानों के ज़रिए ही सोचता और बात करता हूँ।

I think my favorite Rolling Stones song is "No Expectations." I always think and talk through songs.

नारीवादी आंदोलन के दौरान—कारोली श्नीमैन, मरीना Abramović और ज़ाहिर तौर पर जोन जोनास के साथ—मुझे एक नया दृष्टिकोण मिला, और वह मेरे लिए एक बहुत बड़ा मोड़ था। और उन्हीं के माध्यम से, मैं क्रिस बर्डन, ब्रूस नौमैन और वीटो एकॉन्सी के संपर्क में आया। आप इसे एक गिरोह जैसा भी कह सकते हैं, क्योंकि उनके काम आपस में हमेशा संवाद करते रहते हैं। उस चीज़ का मुझ पर गहरा प्रभाव पड़ा, लेकिन इसके अलावा, मेरी दिलचस्पी हमेशा पुरानी पेंटिंग्स में ही रही है।

I had a total revelation with the feminist moment, with Carolee Scheeman and Marina Abromovic and of course Joan Jonas; that was a big breakthrough with me. And through them, I was introduced to Chris Burden and Bruce Nauman and Vito Acconci. You can almost call it a gang, because the works are always talking together. That stuff had a huge impact on me, but other than that, my interest had always been old paintings.

जब मैंने आर्ट स्कूल में दाखिला लिया था, तो मेरे मन में बहुत सी पूर्वधारणाएं थीं। बाकी बच्चों की तरह मैं भी यही सोचता था, "मुझे यह आधुनिक कला पसंद नहीं है।" मैं कला को लेकर बहुत ही मूर्खतापूर्ण और रूढ़िवादी विचारों के साथ आर्ट स्कूल गया था।

I was very prejudiced when I started arts school. I, like all of those kids, was like, "I don't like this modern stuff." I came to arts school with a very stupid, conservative set of ideas about art.

मैं ऐसे नाटकों का हिस्सा रहने का आदी हूँ जहाँ हमेशा एक कहानी होती है, लेकिन मुझे ठहरे हुए पल और मेरे अंदर का पेंटर ज़्यादा आकर्षित करता है।

I'm so used to being in a theater where there is always a narrative, but I'm more about the still moment, the painter inside me.
