Maurizio Cattelan

I'm a thief. I steal ideas. I steal feelings. I steal everything.

I'm not trying to be provocative. I'm just trying to be honest.

I don't believe in art. I believe in life.

I like to be a parasite. I live off the ideas of others.

I'm not an artist. I'm a provocateur.

I don't know what I'm doing. I just do it.

I like to make people think, 'What the hell is that?'

I'm not a good person. I'm a complicated person.

I don't have any answers. I just have questions.

I like to be on the edge, to be a little bit dangerous.

My work is a reflection of my fears, my anxieties.

I'm not trying to shock people. I'm just trying to be myself.

I think art should be accessible to everyone.

I like to make fun of myself, and of the art world.

I'm not a serious artist. I'm a serious joker.

I think art is a mirror. It reflects who we are.

I always wanted to disappear. Maybe that's why I make art.

I'm a very shy person. That's why I hide behind my art.

I don't think art can change the world, but it can make you think.

I like to create a sense of wonder, or bewilderment.
