I think people are quite surprised that the handwriting I use in my drawings and paintings is my own handwriting. They're slightly shocked when I write them a letter.

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

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

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 want to just spend my life ridiculing something that I find ridiculous, although there is an element of satire in my work.

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.
