Somehow the greater the public opposition to the health care bill the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst - the presumption that they know best and they're going to get their way whether the American people like it or not.

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.

Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world but I don't mind I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore is there?

A lot of my humor does come from anger. It's like you're not gonna pull one over on me - which is pretty much my motto anyways.

I mean one of the things about being alone is that you've no people to define yourself off I mean people are like all-round mirrors because let's face it we don't often see ourselves all round in a mirror anyway do we.

I don't know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean 90 is the new 70 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40 so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point.

When I was younger my whole sense of self-worth was based on whether or not I was working which was awful. And I had a baby at 20 years old so it wasn't just about me. At around the age of 30 there was a stretch where I wasn't working - certainly not on anything I liked anyway - and I started to do other things.
