My work is basically an outgrowth of the anger I feel about the human condition. The aspects of it that make me angry are our capacity for cruelty and the ability people have to ignore situations they don't like.

If you really want to do it, you do it. There are no excuses.

Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.

In art, the only one who really knows whether what you've done is honest is the artist.

A good teacher is like a good artist. They go right to the most difficult part of whatever's going on.

I get the feeling that sometimes the ideas work very well when you're doing them in the studio alone.

What I am really concerned about is what art is supposed to be - and can become.
