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

The entertainment industry, the advertising industry have taken [the] tools from the art world and made themselves much more politically potent. We are really devastated and very impotent right now. A photographer just working for an advertising company has a platform to be much more politically effective in the world than an artist.

I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.

Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.

I like my drawings to be direct. I don't generally work on them for too long, but that doesn't mean that they are not works in their own right.

If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.

I'm interested in power.
