For example, in England, we teach about Expressionism, but it is not the same in England as it is in Germany, because Expressionism is more important in the history of German art. So although it is the same history, the emphasis is different.

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

I am personally happy for artists to make as much money as they can while they can to carry them through the times when they can't.

I think from an artist's point of view, everything in art, in fact everything in the world is available as material.

It's important for me to give each thing the possibility to speak and also to allow artworks speak to each other.

I would never put a sculpture in front of a painting, so that it is difficult to see the painting. I always place each thing so you can see it isolated. You can focus on every individual work.

If you were really interested in being creative in teaching, it was possible to try new methods and that was really what we did in Goldsmiths - we used the freedom of the time.
