Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

My challenge as a satirical artist is how to present ideas to people to enable them to question and reexamine their beliefs. My hope is, that my work provokes people to look at things in a new way.

If I'm successful in fooling a wire service, I don't really have to do anything else to promote the story.

I created hoaxes. I confronted and challenged the majority opinion. I attacked, humiliated, and criticized the voice of the corporate mainstream media.

It is the fool who thinks he cannot be fooled.

I've always been a fine artist.

It would make life much easier if I could have total faith and not question everything all the time, but I can't do it and I won't do it.
