I do think that I'm not good at making pretty things. It doesn't come so naturally for me.

At the moment my art is situated between the pornographic tendency to reveal everything and the erotic inclination to hide what it's all about.

The best works do not necessarily get to auction. I like to draw, so maybe I give you a little drawing. And then eventually it ends up at auction. And then critics say, 'Oh, that's a bad drawing!' Well, I didn't say it was so wonderful.

There are these painterly things that happen while I'm working.

There is no beauty, if it doesn't show some of the terribleness of life.

I'm always so sick of myself after a show.
