It would make life much easier if I could have total faith and not question everything all the time, but I can't do it and I won't do it.

What do we believe? Why do we believe it?

When I create a false reality, I always try to create a plausible structure to help convince people.

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

If I'm successful in fooling a wire service, I don't really have to do anything else to promote the story.

We function in a pack mentality. This is our tribe. And this is how we are exploited - sold a bill of goods and a household of products.

The media's job is to question a premise.

My art became very public.

Any deviation is looked upon as a perversion, is feared, and is usually a target of hatred and prejudice.
