I like kids' work more than work by real artists any day.

I have a painting where somebody's holding a chicken, and underneath the chicken is somebody's head.

Occasionally, when I get mad at a woman, I'll do some great, awful painting about her.

Every single line means something.

The country makes me more paranoid, you know? I think the crazy people out there are little crazier.

I wanted to build up a name for myself.

I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I'd draw a big ram's head, really messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.
