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

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 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 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.

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

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'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.
