“In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death.”

No, I don't believe in genius. I believe in freedom. I think anyone can do it. Anyone can be like Rembrandt.
I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.
But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but it's such a big thing that you can't.
