One must not believe any of those mythologies about oneself as an artist

The whole point of being an artist is to have no agenda. To say, you know, I don't know what I am going to do tomorrow, I don't know what it's going to look like, and I'm going to have a go at it.

All ideas grow out of other ideas

A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already

I, in the end, make art for myself.

It is important that artists are not outside the equation, we don't stand on the sidelines. Artists are part of the story of a response, we cannot stand aside and let others make the response.

Artists don't make objects. Artists make mythologies.
