Quotes

 * I just...the world just...it's just different. It changes every day.
 * "Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore" (1999)

 * "Cinema-in-the-Round" (2007)
 * I am an autodidact - that's why I use bigger words than I should. It's a classic sign.
 * Guardian interview (2008)
 * See, we assemble. Samsung, Viking, Gaggenau, and Whirlpool. Here, here. Here, we exist. In the streets. And houses, in cars, and fields. As ever-present as sunshine.
 * "GreenScreenRefrigeratorAction" (2010)
 * This is a proposal for a show, in which I imagine a Newly Born Limb, the Ghost of A Flea, and an Endless Note Petrified in Stone. I picture two prosthetic arms, one ancient, one modern, reaching out as far as they can, to grasp all that there is in the world.
 * "Prop4aShw" (2013)

Quotes about Leckey
