It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.

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.

I have a theory that you can make any sentence seem profound by writing the name of a dead philosopher at the end of it.

Nobody knows what you feel inside unless you tell them.

Not everyone will understand your journey. That's okay. You're here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.

I like to think I have the guts to stand up anonymously in a western democracy and call for things no-one else believes in - like peace and justice and freedom.

I give away thousands of paintings for free.
