I'm not going to work with a company that uses my artwork, which is precious to me, and not allow me to do certain things.

When I get into a zone, I obsess and I don't care about anything else. I have to make the work.

The way I view the works, they're more like feelings than anything else.

If I keep going outside, I get distracted - and all these lunches and things I get invited to, I just don't care. I just want to make the work. New York is very distracting.

My fans - I hate the word fans...my supporters - it's an international following that isn't from being in London and existing on the "scene." It came from being on the Internet, from being a teenager communicating with different artists, showing who I am, who KESH is, as well as connecting with other people around the world doing similar things.

It takes me a long time to understand my work myself, so I name them in the order that they're created.

I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.
