You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.

I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.

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

It's very easy to say, 'I could have done that,' after someone's done it. But I did it. You didn't. It didn't exist until I did it.

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.

But whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it.

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