You can't honour someone by copying them or trying to be exactly like them.

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

There is a complete difference between art and the art market. Prices are high now for the simple reason that there are people are willing to pay them. The market dominates the art world today because at the moment collectors call the shots. Like everything else that won't last forever.

'Understanding' art is like having a sense of humour - if you don't have one, no amount of explanation is going to make you laugh.

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

I decided I should use the most obvious colours - the basic colours with simple names: red, purple, yellow, pink. I don't distort the objects, I don't change the objects, I draw them exactly as they are. I do the opposite with the colours.

I think that cultural influence is very deep, it is not on the surface and this is true in every culture.
