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

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

I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.

I love color. I feel it inside me. It gives me a buzz.

Sometimes when you're drunk you can see better.

A lot of people thought I wasn't doing anything because I was spending a lot of time socialising and going out, but I've always managed to get work actually done.

In fact, the first piece of art I ever sold, I paid someone else to make the next one, so I could actually keep going out drinking.
