If I could be any animal I would be a pony because then I could have sex with ponies.

It is difficult to make political art work.

I don't really think of most non-English as people, more or less indigenous squirrels that I fancy to kick around with my snakeskin French Persian Boots

So ultimately, it's idealistic to think that artists are able to step away from the power of the media and the way it controls things, and go on doing their own things.

I think sometimes all the charities are doing is mopping up the blood. It’s a shame.

If the media spotlight affects my work or represses what I want to say in the future, then it is bad.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.
