I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.

I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.

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

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.

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.

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

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.
