It's phenomenally important to me that, if I'm going to be spending years on a project, I need to be interested in the whole thing. I'm not there to be on my own. And if I'm going to be with these people, I'd best be interested in their work.

I like to surprise myself. I've always been attracted to projects where I don't know how they're going to turn out.

Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.

When starting a project, your influences are the things around you. It doesn't mean you have to sound like it or look like it or anything. It's just something new, and your curiosity becomes enthralled by it.

Every time you do a project, you learn something new.

If I'm interested in what I'm doing, other people will be interested in it.

I don't look at other people's work because I don't want to be distracted by their ideas.

When people don't know who you are, they're seeing your work for the first time. But if they've seen a lot, getting certain things across is a more difficult.

As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.
