I Think An Ashtray Is The Most

You Can Always Tell A Great Painting, Because When You Get Close There Are All These Nervous Marks.

I Always Try To Make Everyone Mellow Down, Make Sure Everybody's Happy. The People I Have Employed Have Always Kind Of Stayed With Us. A Lot Of People Who Come To Work For You Are Artists In Their Own Right. And They Want To Work For You Because They Want To Pick Something Up.

But I Always Liked The Fact That You Get These Totally Unacceptable Images, But They're Taken By A Really Expensive Photographer, With Great Light, And In Terms Of The Quality Of The Photograph It's A Great Photograph, But In Terms Of Imagery It's Unacceptable, And I Like That Contradiction.

I Was Taught To Confront Things You Can't Avoid. Death Is One Of Those Things. To Live In A Society Where You're Trying Not To Look At It Is Stupid Because Looking At Death Throws Us Back Into Life With More Vigour And Energy. The Fact That Flowers Don't Last For Ever Makes Them Beautiful.

For Me, Art Is Always A Kind Of Theater.
