If I were really, truly in love with someone who was truly in love with me, then I would get married, but that would be the only reason I'd get married.

I have hardly any friends who aren't gay

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.

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.

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.

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.
