But whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it.

The difference between art about death and actual death is that one's a celebration and the other's a dull fact.

Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.

You'd never look at a Rembrandt and say, 'That's just wood and canvas and paint - how much?!' It's all about how many people want it. It works on a pair of jeans as well - they're just material and stitching, and as soon as you walk out of the shop, they're worth nothing.

I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work.

The idea of going on tour for the rest of my life with old works is not that exciting. As an artist I definitely think the work in future is going to be better than the work in the past, otherwise why do it?

It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money.

That's the great thing about art. Anybody can do it if you just believe. With practice, you can make great paintings.

But I'm more interested in why people are frightened by Jaws and why Jaws was such a hit than saying Spielberg's my main influence.
