"It’s good to be recognized in your life, to feel that your life is not in vain, that you went through all these years creating all this work and that you’re not just totally out of your mind. I’m an image-maker, I’m creating images. Where do they come from; that’s another thing. Recognition is a really important thing; to reach some point in your life or some type of goal in your life, most people want that."

"And then they call it 'black art.' So those of us who are abstract, then we are not black enough, and we're not white enough. We're not gonna put you up there with the white boys because you're doing abstract. Only white boys can do abstract. But then you are not black enough. And that's what i don't like about Atlanta. You can be quickly labeled, but then you're where you're all dressed up but no place to go."

"Well, I'm feeling the choice should be there. I'm not saying there should be one or the other. I think that's one of the biggest problems African Americans have with their creativity in America. They get polarized. There are some days I wanna create art work that has nothing to do with politics. But then there are some days when something happens in my life and I need to respond politically to it or I will get crushed by it. So I don't think it's an either or concept."
