“Im a maximalist, so Im probably not very elegant. My art is not a coup...” — Grayson Perry Quote

“Im a maximalist, so Im probably not very elegant. My art is not a coup de grce. Its a war of attrition.”

“Nothing frustrates me about the art world. It is a lovely place. There are many daft things that amuse me about it though.”

“Self-consciousness is almost the biggest thing you have to deal with as an artist. That's why many artists crash and burn, because they can't handle the attention and the financial implications of every brushstroke.”

“Attrition through enforcement is simply the self-evident principle that if you ratchet up the level of enforcement and make it more difficult to break the law, fewer people will continue to break the law.”

“I'm always trying to put my opponents away, whether it's through ground and pound and making them quit through attrition, or making them give up a submission after beating on them for a while.”

“Rather than realizing immediate physiological gain, the challenge is more about reducing the mental attrition from the two days to maximize each event.”
