Dennis Ross
People think of me as a stereotype: muse, privileged, decorative. Classically, the muses were the inspiration. They’d come and go – they wouldn’t actually make things, get their hands dirty. I don’t think I’m a muse, although I think I can help pull a trigger. I really like getting my hands dirty.
