If a society cannot even support somebody like me, then people ask: Who is under protection then? That's why there is such support for me. It is not because I am so beautiful or I am so charming. People feel: This guy is fighting for us.

Being an artist is more of a mindset, a way of seeing things; it is no longer so much about producing something.

Creativity is part of human nature. It can only be untaught.

I think by shattering it we can create a new form, a new way to look at what is valuable — how we decide what is valuable.

Selling high or low doesn't mean anything. It has to do purely with the market.

We have to give our opinion, we have to say something, or we are a part of it. As an artist I am forced to say something.

I can still wake up the next day and feel that there's something that needs to be done, which always amuses me.
