- In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death.
- I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.

- But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
