I'm never really that worried about doing something a little different, 'cause it always just seems to fit into what I want to do.

I don't want to just spend my life ridiculing something that I find ridiculous, although there is an element of satire in my work.

I'm definitely not an outsider artist. I'm very much an insider artist. I get written about in art magazines, and I'm not, like, in a mental institution. I'm a regular guy who went to art school.

I'm not pretending to be somebody who's got really limited craft skills. I just am a person who's got really limited craft skills.

I don't draw every day. I tend to draw intensely during certain periods of time. I draw to amuse myself on occasion, when I am bored and drawing is the only fun to be had.

I feel quite comfortable and happy with making a work that looks like it could have been made by somebody else.

I guess I must just be obsessed with death. Apparently you think about it a lot more as you get older. Maybe you could chart how when I was in my 20s I talked about sex all the time, and in my 40s it's just death.
