Quality and longevity are the primary criteria, along with repairability and ease of production.

I don't set out to make something that is repulsive and that would scare people. I know that some people don't like what I make, and don't find it cute, but that's hard for me to understand.

I have a database of all my works that I maintain to keep track of works and editions.

We always use plywood rather than MDF for structural stuff for the same reasons [stability].

I don't want the ideas to be limited by what I can physically do. The ideas come first.

I feel that there's hardly any irony in my work; if there's anything, there'll be sincerity, which people sometimes find hard to deal with.

For me it is a matter of respect for the ideas in the work and the people who look at them. I absolutely hate it when works come back to the studio for repair, and I try to make sure that they never do.
