Quotes

  • I want to be with my friends. I'm drunk. I want to phone my mum. She's going to be embarrassed by this conversation. I don't care. I don't give a fuck about it.
  • Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!
  • When it comes to words I have a uniqueness that I find almost impossible in art &ndash; and it's my words that actually make my art quite unique.
