I have titles floating around in my head; I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.

People always say that my work is sensational or shocking but there are truly shocking things you could do, and my sculptures don't go anywhere near that.

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 remember when you used to have your profession on your passport and I always thought that being a painter was the best one to be, because my heroes were Goya and Francis Bacon.

I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life.

So smoking is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying. I smoke because it's bad, it's really simple.
