My only career goal is to be an halloween icon.

All my images are self-portraits, even when I'm not in them.

Pop is about speaking everybody's language. The imagery and iconography we instantly recognize. When you can rely on things that the public already knows, you're dealing with Pop.

Sometimes people are shocked by what I do, but I'm not trying to be liked, I speak my mind and I don't care what people think. I truly do not compromise on who I am.

I'm like a circus standing on two legs.

I love the idea of reincarnation, so just in case it doesn't exist, I decided to be different people in the same lifetime.

And, perhaps most importantly, regional conflicts will again and again confront us with a cruel choice between costly engagement and costly indifference.

Do not let adversity break you. Think of it as a learning experience that will make you stronger.

Those who desire to become rich, desire it at once.
