I don't like to think about being an influence. It's embarrassing.

The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.

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

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.

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

I like to combine different aspects in my work, to cover different areas, but I do see them as being separate.

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