I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

Having children is exciting. Life puts the past into perspective.

I feel the art world in New York has a stronger following than Britain. If you go to a New York art district on a Saturday morning, it will be so busy with families and openings - art is much more ingrained in the culture.

I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.
