I wanted a shark that's big enough to eat you, and in a large enough amount of liquid so that you could imagine you were in there with it.

You need a big ego to be an artist.

I think I like big issues, but I don't believe in God or religion.

Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but it's such a big thing that you can't.

I realised that you couldn't use the tools of yesterday to communicate today's world. Basically, that was the big light that went on in my head.

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.
