Art that imposes conditions - human or otherwise - on the receiver for its appreciation in my eyes constitutes aesthetic fascism.

Skills come with age, but wisdom, I doubt it very, very much.

The only art I'm interested in is the art I don't understand right away. If you understand it right away it really has no use except as nostalgia.

Once you know about a work of mine you own it. There's no way I can climb inside somebody's head and remove it.

All art is made from anger.

Accreditation. The "doctorate of fine art." I've never heard something so stupid in my entire life.

In my eyes, making art is very often about something that you don't know.

I stopped painting, not because I didn't like painting; the sensuality of it was fun. But I wasn't able to get to the point I wanted to.

I make more time to have fun in the life I'm living before I'm worm food.

Spare me through your mercy, do not punish me through your justice.

I'm a bit claustrophobic, I don't like crowds, I live by the sea - that's what I see when I come out of my house in Bridlington.

What is the thing that Will could do to make me not love him? That would make me abandon him? I can’t think of one. I'm sorry. Except if he did something bad to the kids - now we've got a problem.

I'm human. I'm going to miss shots, ... When I miss four (in a row), I've got to feel I can make the fifth one.

Failing my driving test first time; that was a disappointment on a geological scale.
