There are things going on in galleries recently that have shocked me. What I'm going to say is really controversial, but what I find the most provocative is the commerciality of art in general. And the fact that a lot of people have forgotten what the meaning of art is and what the intention behind it is.

I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.

Art is like a lover whom you run away from but who comes back and picks you up.

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.

I thought it would be my one and only exhibition so I decided to call it My Major Retrospective.

Theres different kinds of love, and Id never experienced that kind of totally platonic love. All the love Ive experienced has always been a kind of deal, and now, as I get older, I realise that theres this other love out there.

When I think about sex it makes me realise how alone I feel.
