Learn to recognise when you need to know something.

I want to be in the studio. I want to be doing something. You just do whatever is at hand, and you don't even worry about whether it's going to be interesting or not interesting to anybody else-or even yourself. You just have to make something.

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.

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

But part of the enjoyment I take in it is finding the most efficient way to do it, which doesn't mean the corrections aren't made. I like to have a feeling of the whole task before I start, even if it changes.

If I was an artist, and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art.

I thought I might have to give up art, but I couldn't think of anything else to do.
