UV: What is art?
LC: When a person is turned inside out so that he becomes unsightly, and then puts himself on display for the whole room to see, he has created art.

UV: Tell us about your method.
LC: I just take a line for a walk.

UV: If you were stuck on a desert island what three things could you not live without?
LC: 1.Tattoo You by the Rolling Stones, 2. green olives, 3. The complete works of Charles Bukowski.

UV: What is your definition of bad art?
LC: Bad intention.

UV: What were you thinking when you made this piece on the cover?
LC:After abandoning it for a month, I went back to this and covered up about half the surface and waited for it to like me.
