I've always been interested in what happens in the studio.

Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.

I'm not interested in making a $60-million studio film with a bunch of 24-year-olds telling me what to do.

In the studio, I don't do a lot of work that requires repetitive activity. I spend a lot of time looking and thinking and then try to find the most efficient way to get what I want, whether it's making a drawing or a sculpture, or casting plaster or whatever.

I have always been interested in the idea of self-reinvention.

I'd always been interested in psychology.
