- I don’t see any difference now between what I collect and what I make. It’s become the same. What I’m collecting will, a lot of times, end up in my work.
- It would be strange for me to think I’m being ripped off, because that’s what I do! In those days, it was called “pirating.” Now they call it “sampling.”
- I think celebrity can be dangerous. The big advantage is that I no longer have to worry about whether or not I can afford to buy that extra paintbrush when I’m in the art supply store. The other advantage is that I can take time to experiment. I can fail a bit more often. I don’t have to put out the work that I don’t like.
- Living in New York feels like you’re always inside - Inside buildings, inside subways.
- The subject comes first, the medium second.
- A lot of it’s experimental, spontaneous. It’s about knocking about in the studio and bumping into things.
