Museums are for dead artists. I'd never show my work in the Tate. You'd never get me in that place.

There's no possible way you can get what you want.

It's a great advantage to be able to play people off against each other, isn't it? You go to Christie's and get a quote on something. And then you go to Phillips' and you tell them what Christie's has given you. I like auctions for artists.

Artists are like everybody else.

One thing leads to another with my work.

The goal in life is to be solid, whereas the way that life works is totally fluid, so you can never actually achieve that goal.
