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.

I quite like it to be risky. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet. I've arrived at that point in the art world where there really is a chair that you sit in.

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.

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

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.

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

Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms.
