Death's just something that inspires me, not something that pulls me down. I used to get called morbid at school. I have always loved horror films; I like being frightened.

Picasso, Michelangelo, possibly, might be verging on genius, but I don't think a painter like Rembrandt is a genius.

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

I definitely think about death. And every day your relationship with death changes. And every day I sort of feel like I know it more. I've always thought about it.

Immortality is really desirable, I guess. In terms of images, anyway.

I think an ashtray is the most fantastically real thing.

I used to believe I was going to live forever. And then you suddenly become aware that you're not.
