I love contemporary art, although I wouldn't want a pickled shark in my house.

A good show makes me happy. It's a great sensation. If you could capture a great atmosphere and do it every time, that would be amazing.

Before a long-haul flight, buy yourself a cheap, big, comfortable pillow. It makes a huge difference.

I like to read about subjects unrelated to my work, especially history.

Mum had a job fitting upholstery into cars, but, in the evenings, she worked as a seamstress.

If I had a place with a studio where I could paint I'd be happy.

When people feel threatened by you, they find something that is belittling.
