Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.

People always say that my work is sensational or shocking but there are truly shocking things you could do, and my sculptures don't go anywhere near that.

Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time.

I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.

I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it.

Shock is still fun. I won't ever shut the door on it.

'Whiplash' scared me. I feel you should only do projects that scare you to some degree. I get motivated by those sorts of feelings.

People expect me to me a 'shock rocker,' but there's nothing you can do anymore to be shocking.

I only get involved with projects as a producer if I feel creatively inspired.
