I feel physically ill if I don't make work, I don't create. I don't feel very good. I don't feel right, I feel wrong.

I am fiercely independent and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for the way in which I was brought up

I had become conscious of my physicality, aware of my presence and open to the ugly truths of the world. At the age of thirteen, I realised that there was a danger in innocence and beauty, and I could not live with both.

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.

I've never been married because, first of all, I don't think I've ever seriously been asked by anyone who I wanted to marry. [...] And also I'm monogamous.

All the people in the late '80s and early '90s were really hell-bent on doing something for themselves, and they wouldn't take no for an answer. There was a lot of determination, and I was definitely part of that way of thinking.
