On Identity
"Identity being a fluid thing is important to both of us [Redell & Jimenez] because we have always existed in this space of inbetweenness. It's always the, 'What are you question?' You may identify with two different things or multiple things, but the fact that someone else is projecting onto you what you should be named and how you should self identify is definitely an issue of power. And our perspective is that we should be able to claim what we want, when we want, and how we want, and it's not up to anyone else to decide that for us."

On Cultural Politics
"We do what we do in America, which is to only focus on the sexuality, but there's a lot of violence in this piece."
"You walk into a museum and you have these black and brown security guards who are charged with protecting the work of white artists...on white walls. And it's never flipped. I worked at a museum for 4 1/2 years and I had to stop wearing a tie because everyone thought I was a security guard."
On Practice & Process
"I do all of my work on the iPhone. The canvas is the computer. I take photos and then I manipulate the hell out of them with different apps. Anybody can do this."
