Art is the ultimate luxury good, but one that can make you think, give a you a blast of beauty and enhance your life. Even if the work's made of plasticine.

If people don't feel they've got your attention, you're not going to succeed.

I don't believe that saying things because you feel they are what people want to hear is the right way to be in any part of your life.

I thoroughly enjoy a good hot bath. That is my ultimate luxury.

It's a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don't have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own.

I think people might say I'm a bit of a sucker for punishment.
