Artists Who Don't Paint Aren't Artists.

I Did Not Like Prizes At School. I Didn't Like Tests Or Exams, Or The 11+, Or O-levels. Later I Hated B.a.s And M.a.s. The Reason I Hated Them Is That I Don't Like Being Tested, Failed Or Falsely Praised By Anyone.

I Think That The Mythology Of Van Gogh's Life, And The Beauty Of His Paintings, Is Unstoppable.

People Could Live Very Happily Without The Turner Prize, But They Could Not Live Without Real Communication And Emotion.

I Loved Moustaches. I Used To Draw Myself With One. When I Was 14, I Was Really Into War And Van Gogh.

One Of My Biggest Problems In Life Has Been My Inability To Lie.
