I admire Ai Weiwei for his art and his activism. His art is beautiful in form, and in function embodies the principles of populism and social consciousness I aspire to in my own practice.

For me, there has always been a disconnect with the sort of elitist structure of the high-art world - and my distaste for that is at odds with my feeling that art should aspire to do great things.

The way I make art - the way a lot of people make art - is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.

I don't aspire to be like other drivers - I aspire to be unique in my own way.

When you walk down the street and see something in a crazy spot, there's something powerful about that. The street will always be an important part of getting art out there for me.

I never admire another's fortune so much that I became dissatisfied with my own.
