I guess I just always want to surprise myself and say something that I'm not really quite sure where it came from, and it sort of makes sense and has a kind of profundity to it. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

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

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 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.

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.
