I used to believe I was going to live forever. And then you suddenly become aware that you're not.

I quite like it to be risky. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet. I've arrived at that point in the art world where there really is a chair that you sit in.

For me, art is always a kind of theater.

I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.

A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.

I definitely think about death. And every day your relationship with death changes. And every day I sort of feel like I know it more. I've always thought about it.
