“It's been well documented how we start to believe in our virtual or digital selves more than our real selves, but it's strange to think that human behaviour hasn't really changed at all since that legend was created.”
“I don't think I've got a problem with nostalgia, because a lot of the time things are self-referential.”
“I was looking at the work of the New York street artists and then discovering Basquiat and Haring after that and seeing how the contemporary art scene was, and then going back into Warhol and all that was happening in the 60s.”
“After touring an album, you have this strange void that follows it, where you feel slightly displaced, like you've just finished with the circus and you've got to find a new job. You think, OK, what shall we do next.”
“I think the problem with the art market and the art scene is that it is its own beast. It thrives and breathes and defecates independently of the artist.”
“I've always been interested in Catholic iconography. My dad's from Naples and I was brought up in a Roman Catholic school.”
