What Are The Politics Of Boredom?

I Left School At 16 And My Mother Got Me A Job As A Trainee Wine Taster. But One Day I Followed Some Girls Into St Martin's Art School And Saw A Voluptuous Woman Sitting On A Stool Being Sketched. I Decided To Get Myself Fired.

I Was Taught That To Create Anything You Had To Believe In Failure, Simply Because You Had To Be Prepared To Go Through An Idea Without Any Fear. Failure, You Learned, As I Did In Art School, To Be A Wonderful Thing. It Allowed You To Get Up In The Morning And Take The Pillow Off Your Head.

I've Always Embraced Failure As A Noble Pursuit. It Allows You To Be Anti Whatever Anyone Wants You To Be, And To Break All The Rules.

The Pistols Were Like My Work Of Art. They Were My Canvas.

Everyone Should Be Commended For Allowing People To Make Disasters, To Make Failures - You've Just Got To Be Sure That It's A Magnificent Failure And That, By Creating A Magnificent Failure, You Plant The Seed.
