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

I always try to make everyone mellow down, make sure everybody's happy. The people I have employed have always kind of stayed with us. A lot of people who come to work for you are artists in their own right. And they want to work for you because they want to pick something up.

For artists it's a lot easier to make art in bad times than it is in good times. When you've got no money it's easy to just drink your way through it and make great art. But if you're making lots of money it can be very problematic.

I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.

The goal in life is to be solid, whereas the way that life works is totally fluid, so you can never actually achieve that goal.

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

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
