"I cannot tell you how the Island really is – I have no idea – I can state only the facts as I perceive them. You must be satisfied with this or you must travel there yourself sometime, and see these beings in their natural environment, for the place is utterly subjective."

"To me, the cave is in your brain, the cave is in your mind... You have to build this cave in your mind and to struggle with what happens in this cave, in confronting it with the world."

"My artwork is an expression of my life, particularly of my mental disease... My art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings."

"Information has to enter your mind and become part of you before you can process it and use it in a creative way, so naturally everything comes from inside. I would say that my work shows my creative process in its naked truth. I see no difference between the finished work and the process."

"My works are always objects or rooms that seem just to have been left behind, and most of the time the works are a precise gathering or construction of human thinking acts... You could see my work, this self-portrait as a building, as an enormous three-dimensional photograph of a mind. Not my mind though. It's a place where my thoughts are frozen together. Although it has taken me more than twenty years to make this work, all fragments are frozen in the same now. I want to create one tense arrested super-moment which I and other persons can walk through."

"My characters are all self-portraits in a way. But the emotions that I feel can, of course, be universal. Often the characters are representations of me but they are also representations of the countless others who identify with them."

"The Creation Myth is about how one creates, how one sees creation, how one sees the act of creation... It’s basically about how we see things in the world. We put them into the brain and then we file them and then they break up and get filed in different parts of the brain, and different things get stuck in different areas.'

"I also call this work 'Sleeping Room'... The room symbolizes the bedroom and sleeping, when our awareness of extremities dissipates. In uncensored dreams, physical and medical facts become inconsequential. Identity soars in space, becoming a Milky Way; body parts take on lives of their own. The visual circles around the extremities."

"When I dream... I feel the dream as reality. I can't distinguish between dream and reality. When I wake up, I have the feeling I'm still dreaming."

"The outside world is a complete construct of my inner mind. My mind, the place where I sit, is on a frontier; a portal between an inner and outer world. The external world passes through this portal via the artwork. The internal world does the same. Walking in My Mind is the act of endlessly crossing this frontier."
