If you try to copy something exactly you won't get it correct, because you don't share the same tradition and context.

You can't force yourself to be something you are not.

Usually people start with painting and then go on to make installations; my painting came from installation.

I have been using the computer as a work aid since the mid-90's. It is extraordinarily well suited to how I think and work and has transformed my practice. Nearly everything I have done in the past 15 years would have been impossible without it. I use the computer for drawing, composing and colour planning everything, from postage stamps to paintings to architectural-scale installations.

If you close the door to the things you feel comfortable with, you will never discover the truth about yourself.

Often people do not properly value things that they are good at naturally because they find them too easy. That is very problematic.

At the Summer Exhibition, I didn't really change anything; it's the same exhibition. All I changed is the presentation. I didn't really change the rules.
