If the work jells a little bit in terms of being placed in the oeuvre, I don't care - as long as it works.

I like making books but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing. Perhaps I just try to arrange a bunch of seemingly random drawings into something that makes a vague narrative sense. Sometimes it sort of makes sense, sometimes it doesn't.

The work, I suppose, is made in the editing, whereby I make literally hundreds of drawings, and then a much smaller percentage of those become the finished work.

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.

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.

The camera is an eye that sees and records the lives of filthy people. Its pictures are hung in museums and published in thick books that future generations can see how horrible life was.

I don't really want to tell jokes about trivia; I'd kind of rather tell jokes about things like life and death.
