Buy Art, Build A Museum,

When I Used To Do Abstract Paintings At School, Like Everyone Else, The Tutor Said These Would Make Great Curtains. I Would Always Neglect The Formal Stuff That Was Going On By Using Colour, Because Colour Kind Of Came Naturally To Me.

As An Artist You're Looking For Universal Triggers. You Want It Both Ways. You Want It To Have An Immediate Impact, And You Want It To Have Deep Meanings As Well. I'm Striving For Both. But I Hate It When People Write Things That Sound Like They've Swallowed A F... Dictionary.

I Always Feel A Bit Trapped When A Painting Goes For Millions Of Pounds And Only One Person Can Have It. If You Can Have That As Well As A Poster On Every Student's Wall, Then You're In A Very Enviable Position. I'd Like To Do A Damien Hirst For £500 At Some Point.

I Can't Wait To Get Into A Position To Make Really Bad Art And Get Away With It. At The Moment If I Did Certain Things People Would Look At It, Consider It And Then Say "f Off". But After A While You Can Get Away With Things.

The Idea Is More Important Than The Object.
