“The Shark - I got an idea that you can get anything over the phone. That’s all there is. It’s like a screen to hide behind. When you’re on the phone there’s just so much missing. I just suddenly thought, Fuck it, you can get anything on the phone. I actually wondered if there was no limit to it. I wanted to do a shark and I thought, No, that’s fucking impossible; you can’t do that. I didn’t go, ‘Let’s go out and get a big fucking fishing rod and go and catch a shark.’ I thought, Shit, you can get it over the phone...I went down to Billingsgat and I said to the guy, ‘Oh, can you get me a shark?’ And he sid, ‘Oh yeh, any size you want.’ ‘You can get me a twelve-foot shark?’ ‘Oh yeh.’ He told me how much it was per pound an’ I thought I’d worked it out.”
