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 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.

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 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.

I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!

I watch a lot of professional skating, and I am really looking forward to going to nationals.

Taking somebody's sacrifices is like taking counterfeit money. You're only the poorer.

A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.

Are you in want of amusement nowadays? Then play a little at the game of getting a living. There was never anything equal to it. Do it temperately, though, and don't sweat.

I love you more than I could ever promise because you take me the way I am.

Spiritually, it's always there. It gets better and better all the time. One of these days I'll just finally release all that out.

Lord, bend me, or I shall rot. Lord do not bend me too much, for I shall break. Lord bend me too much, who cares if I break!

That's how myths are born. Out of our carelessness, out of our tattered nerves, out of jokes that go wrong and flashy gestures.

No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.
