Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

Here's one from me: 'You have to be aware that everyone else is thinking far too hard about themselves to be thinking about you, whoever you are.' If you want it, you can have it. Once you know that, you can be free.

I was brought up Catholic, and I felt the power of art from a very young age - seeing the brutality of all those images of flayed apostles and tortured saints was a pretty strong introduction.

For me, art is always a kind of theater.

Because it's visual art, a lot of it comes from childhood experience but then a lot comes from the visual language - in advertising and stuff like that - which is around us.

People don't like contemporary art, but all art starts life as contemporary - I can't really see a difference.

The idea is more important than the object.

Art comes from everywhere. It's your response to your surroundings.

As an artist, you don't stop making art because people are not buying it.
