One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.

Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.

My childhood had its challenges, like everyone's. It imbued me with certain things and took away others. It made me very determined.

People in love don't see gender, colour or religion. Or age. It's about the other person, the one that you love and who loves you. You don't think of them in terms of a label. You just go with your heart.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

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.
