The things that I have apparently parodied I actually admire.

Use the worst colour you can find in each place - it usually is the best.

When I met Steve Kaufman, I thought he was Gene Simmons, but what an artist talent he is. He will be an art force in the art world to deal with.

What interests me is to paint the kind of antisensitivity that impregnates modern civilization. I think art since Cezanne has become extremely romantic and unrealistic, feeding on art. It is Utopian. It has less and less to do with the world. It looks inward - neo-Zen and all that. Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesn't look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.

I dont have big anxieties. I wish I did. Id be much more interesting.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.
