I'd love to be considered a post-pop artist, but I love to have five or six different styles in every painting, just for the pleasure of the eye.

I have been very lucky, I have won prizes and I've even won the lottery.

Things are forgotten so fast today. Even if 1,000 people are slaughtered, the next day you forget. There has to be new news every day.

In the exhibition at Galerie Perrotin, they have the Sarajevo painting - I think it's very good to nail down this story of Pol Pot and other people, not all dictators but most of them.

Every five, six, seven, eight, 10 years I do a raisonné. When it's printed in the book, it's finished.

I work on a political subject quite often, and the paintings, for me, are not finished until they're printed.

I lived on Fulton Street in an enormous studio - I needed a bicycle to get to the toilet, about half a mile between two streets - next to Wall Street.

I have very warm memories about New York, about the old times, mostly the '60s.

I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!

My kids hear me behind my door, giggling like an idiot, and they roll their eyes at the blatant indignity of it all.

Humans are wired to feel uncomfortable with uncertainty and contingency, and so we gravitate to a position after a short time even if we have no new information.

In other words, knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things, whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact.

Much of the work of every life is done in the dark.

My favorite player is Tiger Woods. I think I can beat Tiger when I'm 20. It's a life goal.

We are suggesting a new kind of opulence, of intelligent indulgence over blind gluttony.

Artists are definitely, like, under a sort of microscope of scrutiny more than others.

Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term.

We are not the person other people wish we were. We are who we decide to be.
