The moment we live in is a great time to make art. We have different technologies to play with, and we're left with the opportunity to focus on our work.

Art is about profundity. It's about connecting to everything that it means to be alive, but you have to act.

I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. That's not the motivation for art.

If I physically made every work myself, I would get only one or two paintings done a year, if that.

It's wonderful to make a lot of money, to be able to take care of my family, to have the facilities I have and really support the people the studio's involved with. But at the end of the day I'm quite simple as an artist-it's really about the power of art.

A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market.

I'm always working. If I'm not in my studio I become quite nervous.
