A lot of it's experimental, spontaneous. It's about knocking about in the studio and bumping into things.

The way you would know if someone is famous in the art world is that you would ask your mother. My mother knows who Picasso was. She knows who Warhol was.

It would be strange for me to think I'm being ripped off, because that's what I do!
