block game good last
I thought I had a good block when they called the foul. I wanted to be in the game at the last minute.
computer drive either pay
You can either pay someone to drive around or you can pay for a computer to scan the area.
advantage beat came early knocked lead quarter third took
I think the third quarter beat us. We came out kind of flat, and they took advantage of it. Chucky Atkins knocked down some threes early and got the lead to 20 real quick.
ball behind boys couple gave great kyle left stepped work
Kyle is our work horse. We put the ball in his hands, and I think he did a great job. He left a couple up, but the boys stepped up behind him and gave him some confidence.
beat best san win
We can play with the best we beat Detroit, San Antonio. We just couldn't come up with the win tonight.
laughing people world
I'm a happy, happy person. I laugh. I'm not angry. I'm only disgusted with a few people in the world that I have to see. But I'm not angry at all.
feet pieces four
It's the ultimate conceptual artwork. I took a piece of metal and just painted an image of a stop sign on it - a four-by-four-foot stop sign.
want made clear
I didn't want it to have any technical virtuosity; I wanted it to just be really clear how it was made. For my work in general, it's always really clear how it is made.
mean kids people
And the cool kids always had a stop sign in their bedroom. Which means: "I don't care if people die. I want my stop sign." At least the assumption was that they took it down from somewhere and now there are old ladies hitting each other head-on somewhere.
wall names light
It's a stage with four lights clamped to it with walls made out of plywood. And then my name's in the center. It's the type of thing that can be made over and over again. It's not like a Michelangelo sculpture.
new-york mean artist
I have a streak in myself, like, I'm an exhibi- tionist. There's a side of me that really wants to show off and share parts of myself with others. I mean, that's why I live in New York, and that's why I'm an artist who shows 10 times a year.
art hate names
I like when people have opinions - especially about art. You can hate my art. I made my art to be hated. That's why I made the name paintings.
knowing not-knowing dio
So rather than someone coming to my stu- dio and saying, like, "Thank you for your time. I'll see you later," and me not knowing why they don't like my work, I understand now why they don't like it.
hate flower mean
I made work specifically for them not to like. If you made paintings of flowers and someone says they hate it, it's like, "What do you mean? It's a flower!" But if you make a painting of your name and somebody says they hate it, it's like, "Well, why would you like a painting of my name anyway?"
