For me, art is always a kind of theater.

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.

I used to watch 'Top of the Pops' when I was a kid and say 'Yeah!' or 'Boo!' at every single song. So there was nothing in the middle. You brutally put it on one side or another.

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

I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.

Sometimes when you're drunk you can see better.

Making art, good art, is always a struggle. It can make you happy when you pull it off. There's no better feeling. It's beauteous. But it's always about hard work and inspiration and sweat and good ideas.
