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

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 guess I must just be obsessed with death. Apparently you think about it a lot more as you get older. Maybe you could chart how when I was in my 20s I talked about sex all the time, and in my 40s it's just death.

I think the thing is there's a work for every space, you always have to respond to a context, whether it be a physical context, or a political one, or a cultural one, whatever.

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 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.

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