All the mistakes I've ever made in my life have been when I've been drunk. I haven't made hardly any mistakes sober, ever, ever.

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.

Strolling on the plateau of life, desperate for the mountain, I never thought that I would get this far. It's only art that has carried me through, given me faith in my own existence. But now I am approaching a point in my life where I desire more.

It wasn't so much destroying my dancing, it was destroying me

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

They grew really quickly. One minute I didn't have any tits and the next I had the biggest tits in the world.

I've been slagged off completely by the art world and I don't know whether fancy being slagged off by the literary world as well. It's just too much.
