People don't remember. Revenge is sweet.

I found that life has to be edited to continue.

I'm a terrible cook, but if I could cook, I would see that in art as well, it's how much creative energy you put into something.

When it comes to words I have a uniqueness that I find almost impossible in art – and it's my words that actually make my art quite unique.

The words went round and round and round in my mind and my body, until I knew they were no longer my words but something that had been carved into my heart. And now my soul was crying.

The people in Miami are so different from anywhere else I've been in America. They're so down to earth, really friendly, and quite self-effacing, with a good sense of humor. I'm not saying other parts of America don't have a sense of humor, but Miami maybe has to have a really good sense of humor for lots of different reasons, and it works. It works for me.

I've always said if I could own one piece it would be Vermeer's The Love Letter, and if I could put it anywhere it would be in a David Chipperfield building. I'm almost there with the building - Chipperfield is building a new house for me in London. The Vermeer is a long way off.
