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'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.

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

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.

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

One thing that success has taught me is censorship.

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.
