"I'm not trying to be a provocateur. I'm just trying to be an artist who's trying to do his job."

"I'm not interested in being polite."

"I like to make art that's a bit of a spectacle, a bit of a show."

"I think art should be a bit like a confession, something that reveals something about the artist, and about ourselves."

"I think art should be a bit like a drug, something that transports you to another place."
