It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.

It's such a crass idea - you're either in love or out of love.

I can't understand why most people believe in medicine and don't believe in art, without questioning either.

I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.

It's very easy to say, 'I could have done that,' after someone's done it. But I did it. You didn't. It didn't exist until I did it.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.

I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.

I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.

I love color. I feel it inside me. It gives me a buzz.

If you want to double your happiness, pour it into someone else.

Do not fret over the ignorant person; surely they have not had the opportunities which illuminated your path.

I literally have no idea what's to come. I try to just stay in the moment.

Taste is so much more important than fashion.

I love to work. You want to talk about natural highs? There's nothing like it.

It's not whether you win or lose - but whether I win or lose.

My songs are like kids. I love them all. I encourage them to grow, to reach their full potential, and then send them out into the world.

I am better at math than spelling.
