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.

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

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.

Never let money get in the way of an idea

So smoking is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying. I smoke because it's bad, it's really simple.

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.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.
