Baroque sculpture and interior design has a quality of creating an environment that seems organic because it's full of curves and details, like a forest.

I think my work is about the different strategies man has invented to deal with desire, frustration, fear of death, exhaustion. It's very much about life on earth.

Art has to maintain as large a space for interpretation as possible, and to protect itself from being too narrow.

In a way, the political cartoon drawings are things that are small and have humor and a childhood aesthetic and are often stronger to spread an opinion.

For me, it would be very difficult to express an opinion about our times without humor. I don't think you could do that.

Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?

I think art must be the place where you are protected from the logic of the outside world.

I'm interested in making works for museums in a way that make the space feel domestic, and I'm always thinking about how this work will be part of someone's daily life.

I want to experiment with new techniques and become a "traditional baroque artist."

I think humor is often a very powerful tool to be able to express ideas that are heavy.

I'm working on new techniques. I'm trying to find a way to make fresco that can be detached from a wall, and I'm trying to find new people who can help me work on a very large scale in bronze.

Cheryl Cole, if you're reading this, I may not be as prety as you but at least I write my own songs.

The more we become civilized, the more we simultaneously understand our need to be virtuous, and our need to understand our experiences on a subconscious level.

Justice is a faculty that may be developed. This development is what constitutes the education of the human race.

I'm not white. Why should I care about the future of white societies

I think for women especially, you need to have a plan. I need to have some other ways to generate income, so I don't have to stretch my face or lift the top of my head with surgery or something.
