I Thought It Would Be My One And Only Exhibition So I Decided To Call It My Major Retrospective.

The Reason Why I'm Popular As An Artist In This Country Is Because It Suits The Psyche Of The Nation At This Time. Ten Years Ago, My Work Wouldn't Have Had Any Currency, Any Popularity At All. Before In This Country, You Had To Be Accepted. You Had To Be Part Of The Group. Now It's Probably More Trendy To Have A Problem.

Have You Ever Longed For Someone So Much, So Deeply That You Thought You Would Die? That Your Heart Would Just Stop Beating? I Am Longing Now, But For Whom I Don't Know. My Whole Body Craves To Be Held. I Am Desperate To Love And Be Loved. I Want My Mind To Float Into Another's. I Want To Be Set Free From Despair By The Love I Feel For Another. I Want To Be Physically Part Of Someone Else. I Want To Be Joined. I Want To Be Open And Free To Explore Every Part Of Them, As Though I Were Exploring Myself.

The People In Miami Are So Different From Anywhere Else I've Been In America. They're So Down To Earth, Really Friendly, And Quite Self-effacing, With A Good Sense Of Humor.

If I Didn't Want To Work For A Couple Of Years I Wouldn't Have To - It's A Great Feeling, To Know I'm Doing It Because I Want To Do It.
