I'm not a compulsive writer. I wish I could be compulsive about something. I have no regular writing routine.

I'm a very compulsive person, so I spend most of my time drawing or writing my diary, patching things up and carving bits of wood - I've carved two of my guitars.

There are forms of art that I might not like to do myself, but I still have respect for the artists who create it.

You want, as an artist, to be pushing yourself to do what you haven't done before.

I'm committed to the purity of my art form.

One of the things you do when you make a piece of art is you try to make the world you'd rather be in.

But I am a lover of all kinds of art. And I just can't stick to one thing. I guess I could if I made myself, but I'd always be looking the other way, for other things.

I don't feel I'm trying to make art. I'm trying to make interesting things. People can relate to that.

What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that.

I don't know very many people in the art world, only socialise with the few I like, and have little time to gnaw my nails with anxiety about any criticism I hear about.
