I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.

The only time I ever want to be something is outside a party so I can get in.

Day after day I look in the mirror and I still see something

I don't want to be smart, because being smart makes you depressed.

I loved working when I worked at commercial art and they told you what to do and how to do it and all you had to do was correct it and they'd say yes or no. The hard thing is when you have to dream up the tasteless things to do on your own.

So many people seem to prefer my silver-screenings of movie stars to the rest of my work. It must be the subject matter that attracts them, because my death and violence paintings are just as good.

I really like to work a lot. It makes time go by fast.
