I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

I worked with someone else's photos; I cropped them in whatever way I wanted and put words on top of them. I knew how to do it with my eyes closed. Why couldn't that be my art?

If I bring up political power, personal power, it sounds like they're my terms, and they're not.

Money talks. It makes art. It determines what food we eat, whether we are cured or die, and what shoes we wear.

It entered the visual vocabulary of photographers, painters and sculptors and focused on what pictures and words look like and what they can mean.

Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.

As with the Princess Di crash, which sent the media on the most insane feeding frenzy. From the moment of the crash, the pornography of sentiment never let up.
