I like comedy but I guess I don't think [my art] is that funny, either. It's too dark and a bit weird in places to be genuinely, uniformly hilarious and function as comedy.

Sometimes commercial galleries ask for particular work to sell, but I try not to be bossed around by them. I didn't become an artist to get bossed around.

Making drawings with text in the first place, it really was born of a desire to be economic, and to do things as simply as possible, and to do as much as I could by the most economic means.

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

I guess I just always want to surprise myself and say something that I'm not really quite sure where it came from, and it sort of makes sense and has a kind of profundity to it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

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