I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

I hate rats. I had a pet rat to try and overcome it. I even gave him mouth-to mouth resuscitation when he had a heart attack. But I couldn't conquer it.

I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can't bear to see it in black and white. I think it's a fear of being pinned down.

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

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.
