My works were designed to amuse, annoy, bewilder, mystify and inspire reflection.

I would photograph an idea rather than an object, a dream rather than an idea.

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.

To me, a painter, if not the most useful, is the least harmful member of our society.

Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.

To create is divine, to reproduce is human.

I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.

Reality is fabricated out of desire.

I spent all the money I had, to get the sacred books of my life.

I'm proud to be an atheist - it helps me stand for so much more and fall for so much less.

Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when you've got Sachin batting with what looks like a three metre wide bat.

I feel lucky to keep playing tennis, being healthy all those years, to compete in one of the most beautiful events of the year, without a doubt.

Not for models. SuicideGirls is a mystery to me because I thought only women ran the site.

The drummer's always going to be there. They're the floor of the whole deal and everyone can stand up on you.

I'm sure you get energy from your audience; it's a high.
