I think it's bad for human beings to be artists. It's awful. You want to do something but you're constantly trying to decide what you want to do. Let's just say it's no place like Hawaii.

I could see the works just living in reproductions. The work lives on like fantasy. Some live even better as just an image.

I love seeing tattoos on 60-year-olds who have had them for 40 years.

I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become.

Take a relief. You draw it, you carve it out. Later you build it up from a flat surface. There is no other way to do a sculpture - you either add or you subtract.

Life is one long decay, no? There's a lot of beauty in it. Like the patina in an old city.
