I never cared for fashion much, amusing little seams and witty little pleats: it was the girls I liked.

All I could do at school was paint and draw and that was the only time I ever passed any exam. It was the only thing I ever got right at school.

I don't think my work does reflect my nationality - I don't like the idea of nationalism.

I didn't know I was going to live for 50 years. It has come as a shock.

I don't feel very optimistic in London.

The skull is nature's sculpture.

Girls are more attractive to me than dresses.
