I figure there are enough self-opinionated assholes trying to get their ugly little faces in front of you as it is. You ask a lot of kids today what they want to be when they grow up, and they say, 'I want to be famous.' You ask them, 'For what reason?' and they don't know or care. I think Andy Warhol got it wrong - in the future, so many people are going to become famous that one day everybody will end up being anonymous for 15 minutes.

If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.

A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?

Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the price of admission.

I love the way capitalism finds a place - even for its enemies.
