I don't like religion very much. I think it's all about people trying to be very certain about things that are very uncertain.

I notice inspiration when it comes by. I don't sit down at my desk and try to write.

Don’t worry about a style. It will creep up on you and eventually you will have to undo it in order to go further.

If you have one person you’re influenced by, everyone will say you’re the next whoever. But if you rip off a hundred people, everyone will say you’re so original!

People like being alike, joining up, and being part of something.

If you keep pushing paint when you're tired of it, you lose sensitivity. I can only focus on painting for a few hours, so I'll stop and work on something quite different.

Making art, I try to just gently persist, instead of having freak-outs where I'm like, Oh, my god, I'll never draw again. You are going to draw again, so you might as well relax.
