I'm definitely not an outsider artist. I'm very much an insider artist. I get written about in art magazines, and I'm not, like, in a mental institution. I'm a regular guy who went to art school.

I'm never really that worried about doing something a little different, 'cause it always just seems to fit into what I want to do.

I like comedy but I guess I don't think [my art] is that funny, either. It's too dark and a bit weird in places to be genuinely, uniformly hilarious and function as comedy.

I'm not pretending to be somebody who's got really limited craft skills. I just am a person who's got really limited craft skills.

I never sat down and decided to make work about life and death. It just all comes out of my head like water pouring out of a jug.

I don't like theorizing about my work myself, but that's not to say I have no interest in theory. Other people are free to say what they want about my work.

If the work jells a little bit in terms of being placed in the oeuvre, I don't care - as long as it works.

I don't think I've ever made any conscious decision to be a comic artist, but to me there's something quite anarchic about comedy.

I think my books are better than my exhibitions. If people don't like my books then I don't mind. I guess you like them enough to write an essay about them so that makes me pretty happy.

The camera is an eye that sees and records the lives of filthy people. Its pictures are hung in museums and published in thick books that future generations can see how horrible life was.

The work, I suppose, is made in the editing, whereby I make literally hundreds of drawings, and then a much smaller percentage of those become the finished work.

I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.

The only politician ever to have entered parliament with honourable intentions, was Guy Fawkes.

A wise word is more rare than the green emerald, and one can find the word of wisdom even amongst the slave girls making grain.

There's no substitute for guts.

If you need the approval of the platform vendor to ship an app, then it isn't a platform.

When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following, amnesty, open borders, lower wages.

You do get some weirdos, but if there are any nice people out there who want to write to me pleasantly, then they'll get a pleasant reply back!

Access by kids to the Internet should be like kids breathing clean air.

People are people, and grief that is limited to those within a specific political boundary denies the humanity of others.

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.
