My early assistants would throw out some paper and I would take it out of the trash.

2
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:23,069
"Why are you throwing this away, you're gonna use it."

3
00:00:24,551 --> 00:00:29,040
When I was going to school, you had to write on both sides of the paper on the same paper.

4
00:00:29,873 --> 00:00:35,357
So yea, I'm a pack rat, "Ah, I could use that somehow."

00:00:37,573 --> 00:00:43,156
I saw a lot of that in India, how people there would recycle anything.

6
00:00:43,156 --> 00:00:48,023
And make something new out of it. You see it a lot in folk art.

You know, you are picking up stuff out of the street, and I would pick up photographs from the street.

00:01:04,852 --> 00:01:10,735
Well, I think if somebody wanted to borrow an imagery and use it, I would be flattered.

10
00:01:13,203 --> 00:01:16,387
Ha, here's something I worked on.

11
00:01:16,816 --> 00:01:25,916
I really just don't think imageries should be owned, including my own.

12
00:01:25,916 --> 00:01:34,167
If it's part of our world, it's like owning words. How could you own words? I mean it's stuff to use.

00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,473
She was retouched, like... [chuckles]
