OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?

It's all right if you don't mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops—for a split second.

Once you start painting, you could of course get lost. I mean you get out of yourself, you don't know whether you're thinking, you just act actually sometimes.

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

If you like music you like silence actually.

I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.

I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old.
