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 never sat down and decided to make work about life and death. It just all comes out of my head like water pouring out of a jug.

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.

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

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 really want to tell jokes about trivia; I'd kind of rather tell jokes about things like life and death.
