I thought the objects we value least because they were ubiquitous were actually the most extraordinary.

The person you admire was true to himself. You can only truly honour him by being true to yourself.

When I look at the objects that I draw, it seems to me so obvious about the contemporary world - these are our world.

I had been doing wall drawings, but they were always black and white. Then in 1993 I painted all the walls of a room to make an installation and as soon as I saw the colour on the walls, it changed my whole life.

I am trying to present objects in the simplest way possible, and I don't want to supply too much context.

The art world, of all worlds, has room for everyone.

It is very important to develop the thing that you are naturally good at, that you are truly interested in.
