I Think Suicide Is The Most Perfect

To Be An Artist Is Not About Fame; It's About Art, Which Is This Intangible Thing That Has Got To Have Lots Of Integrity, Whereas Being Famous Doesn't Really Take Any Integrity. But I Think You Have To Admit That You Want To Be Famous, Otherwise You Can't Be An Artist. Art And Fame Together Are Like A Desire To Live Forever.

I Just Do What Everybody Asks Me To Do, In Terms Of Media And Stuff.

As An Artist, You Don't Stop Making Art Because People Are Not Buying It.

I Think Art Is Good At Looking Back And Looking Forward. I Don't Think Art Is Good At Looking Head-on. At The End Of The Day, People Are More Important Than Paintings.

Even As A Kid In Drawing Class, I Had Real Ambition. I Wanted To Be The Best In The Class, But There Was Always Some Other Feller Who Was Better; So I Thought, It Cant Be About Being The Best, It Has To Be About The Drawing Itself, What You Do With It. Thats Kind Of Stuck With Me.
