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 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.

I am a serious artist in my own right, in the sense that I've spent my entire life being an artist and trying to be an artist and making work.

I'm definitely not an outsider artist. I'm very much an insider artist. I get written about in art magazines, and I'm not, like, in a mental institution. I'm a regular guy who went to art school.

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

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.
