I don't set out to make something that is repulsive and that would scare people. I know that some people don't like what I make, and don't find it cute, but that's hard for me to understand.

How does contemporary technology and culture changes our understanding of what it means to be human. What is our relationship with - and responsibilities towards - that which we create.

Most of the work I make uses materials that are a bit outside of the traditional fine art world.

The illusion of life is crucial for the work, otherwise the ideas wouldn't be able to jump across, people wouldn't engage with it.

Perhaps because of this, many have looked at my practice in terms of science and technology, however, for me it is just as informed by Surrealism and mythology.

I am particularly interested in the way that the everyday realities of the world around us change these relations.

I certainly don't see the humour in my work as something that detracts from its seriousness. It's just a way of making difficult messages more palatable.

I feel that there's hardly any irony in my work; if there's anything, there'll be sincerity, which people sometimes find hard to deal with.

Ideas rather than methods are central to they way I work, although drawing plays a central generative role in everything I do.

I don't think 'Dark Heart' has to be malevolent. It conveys a sense of depth. There is a sense of questioning turmoil.

I usually have several things on the go. Whether it is my own drawings for the next work that I am working on while a sculpture is being fabricated or several works at different points in production.

Sometimes, getting comfortable with the circumstance is the only preparation you need to deal with it.

No one is born on Mt. Cleverest. We all have to travel up there!

The truth is that there is opportunity right now in your present day. Every day offers its own set of golden opportunities.

I believe empathy is the most essential quality of civilization.

Whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

You see, that is it with music, you never stop learning.

A creative person respects the creative spark in other individual men, and in all men (and women).

At the end of a matter ask, "What will I learn from this to make me better?"

Competition [in a scene] is healthy. Competition is life. Yet most actors refuse to acknowledge this. They don't want to compete. They want to get along. And they are therefore not first-rate actors.

I wear my heart on my sleeve.
