I want to spend my life with someone and do nice things and go on adventures, read books and have nice food and celebrate things. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the bedroom like some people who just go to bed and never get out again.

My mum has never wanted me to have children. She thinks I would be destroying my life, even now.

I've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again

The soul will always do what it needs to do.

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.

The reason why I'm popular as an artist in this country is because it suits the psyche of the nation at this time. Ten years ago, my work wouldn't have had any currency, any popularity at all. Before in this country, you had to be accepted. You had to be part of the group. Now it's probably more trendy to have a problem.

I know people went to laugh at my bed and to jeer at it. Still, at least they actually went to see it.
