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

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.

I think an ashtray is the most fantastically real thing.

It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.

I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.

As soon as something becomes art I think you get over the fear

Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
