I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become.

Life is one long decay, no? There's a lot of beauty in it. Like the patina in an old city.

I could see the works just living in reproductions. The work lives on like fantasy. Some live even better as just an image.

You basically only discover a new thing once.

What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that.

I think it's bad for human beings to be artists. It's awful. You want to do something but you're constantly trying to decide what you want to do. Let's just say it's no place like Hawaii.

Take a relief. You draw it, you carve it out. Later you build it up from a flat surface. There is no other way to do a sculpture - you either add or you subtract.

It’s maybe impossible to escape (your own head), but I guess the secret is the prison cell just gets bigger and bigger and bigger and prettier and prettier and prettier.

Every time we've moved ahead in IBM, it was because someone was willing to take a chance, put his head on the block, and try something new.

Where fashion in clothes, bodily adornment, and music are concerned, it is the underclass that increasingly sets the pace. Never before has there been so much downward cultural aspiration.

What i want is for what i want to actually matter.

I love to compete. I competed in 40-50 matches internationally all across the world. I'm young, I'm healthy, and I love to compete. If I don't compete, I'll get bored.

I really like to just jump in a truck with your backpack and just drive and go somewhere.

I played trumpet in school once because I joined band because a cute boy played trumpet too. And I was really bad at trumpet.

As I constantly remind Canadians, there isnt really a Canadian economy anymore. It is a global economy.
