People could live very happily without the Turner Prize, but they could not live without real communication and emotion.

I make sure I make a painting - that's my job. And I cook the Sunday dinner.

I did not like prizes at school. I didn't like tests or exams, or the 11+, or O-levels. Later I hated B.A.s and M.A.s. The reason I hated them is that I don't like being tested, failed or falsely praised by anyone.
