There's so much tragedy in people that we see every day that we don't have to make anything up. We don't have to invent anything. There are two items on the menu: comedy and tragedy.

Street art is about as religious as I get - that's my faith, that even if people screen it out and didn't think they saw it, they did. Even if it was for a split second, it's become part of them and it's affecting them somehow.

Having your work in a museum is something we as artists aspire to, but I don't think that's something we need to worry about while we're alive.

In the U.S., ironically, people work longer hours in the U.S. than they do in Europe or in any other industrialized country. They seem utterly oblivious to May Day, don't really know what it is - our own history.

Typically your work will end up in a museum [after] you're dead. And maybe that's the function of a museum. It's an archive of your work after you're dead.

In art school we're always taught that art is an end in itself - art for art's sake, expressing yourself, and that that's enough.

The problem with prostitution in my experience is that it's often unsatisfying.
