Never let money get in the way of an idea

For me, art is always a kind of theater.

I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.

In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death.

Artists are like everybody else.

As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.

Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
