Melbourne is a fantastic place to work, but it's not the centre of the world.

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.

My father died when I was young and I was raised by my grandmother, Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. We could afford to eat chicken just once a year, on Christmas.

According to new statistics, Pope Francis is the most talked about person on the Internet. And not only that, he has the most viewed profile on Christian Mingle.

My life is basically a big chunk of greatness.

Pleasure never comes sincere to man; but lent by heaven upon hard usury.

I have a three-piece suit. I’m an art collector. I have a funny accent. So I’m probably the killer.

I was born in Bradford, a city in the north of England that God forgot about. A place where most people never leave, but if they do, they certainly never go back.

Great defense consists of 3 R's: read, react, and rotate.

Emotion will always win over coolness and cleverness. It's when a scene works emotionally and it's cool and clever, then it's great. That's what you want.

It was the same thing in the army, no respect. They gave me a uniform that glowed in the dark.
