The art world was not initially really accepting my kind of work. I was ahead of my time.

Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me.

For me, art has to have two things to really blow me away: a strong concept and drama.

For me, there has always been a disconnect with the sort of elitist structure of the high-art world - and my distaste for that is at odds with my feeling that art should aspire to do great things.

What the art world has done, it has been constantly been pushing the boundaries about what art can be. It's like expanding its territory.

Art has absolutely changed my life.

All art really does is keep you focused on questions of humanity, and it really is about how do we get on with our maker.

Art is anything you can get away with.
