In my life as an artist, I follow what I call my 'inner directive' because you can never predict what the world is going to do. You can never predict how people are going to respond to what you do. What I have to do is just trust what's sending me down a road of creative inquiry is important to me and somehow that will make it into a piece of work that is important to others.

Four months later, I was in a pool and I had no idea what I was doing. I had an idea, a dress, and a lot of determination, but I had no idea how to make it happen.

I go to the water with a good idea and the water gives it back to me great. Half of what is totally magic in my work isn't me, and I don't say that out of humility, it's just that the water itself is this extraordinary, lyrical, poetic force and when you're working with it, it's there, it's your partner in creativity and it knows more than I do, I swear.
