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

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 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.

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.

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 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.
