I think you just have to cross your fingers that there's enough artists out there that keep producing interesting work, and eventually it will form a kind of wave that will force people to pay attention to it.

There are different kinds of artists: the ones that inspire you, and the ones that overwhelm you.

I guess I get bored easily, and thank God. I don't want to all my life pound only the same key, although some artists do it very effectively. I'm not trying to denigrate anybody.

I'm always looking at other artists and trying to get inspired by different things.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

I don't want to be an artist that gets stuck doing one thing. I don't want to be an artist who people look back at and say, 'His early work was really great.'

There is always one or a few artists who appeal to all sort of people, and, of course, I want to be one of those people.

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

If you want to get into the creative world, you have to just keep flogging away even when nobody's paying attention. Because then when somebody finally does pay attention, it's certainly a lot more interesting when you have a ton of stuff to show.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.
