I Think As An Artist

Sometimes When You're Drunk You Can See Better.

I Used To Believe I Was Going To Live Forever. And Then You Suddenly Become Aware That You're Not.

Art Is The Closest You Can Get To Immortality, Though It's A Poor Substitute - You're Working For People Not Yet Born - And People Want It Because It Is Brilliant. It Ends Up In Museums Anyway; The Rich Have To Give It Back To The People, It's Their Only Option. There Are No Pockets In A Shroud.

I Was Brought Up Catholic, And I Felt The Power Of Art From A Very Young Age - Seeing The Brutality Of All Those Images Of Flayed Apostles And Tortured Saints Was A Pretty Strong Introduction.

Art Comes From Everywhere. It's Your Response To Your Surroundings.
