One Thing That Success Has Taught Me

I've Always Said If I Could Own One Piece It Would Be Vermeer's The Love Letter, And If I Could Put It Anywhere It Would Be In A David Chipperfield Building. I'm Almost There With The Building - Chipperfield Is Building A New House For Me In London. The Vermeer Is A Long Way Off.

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.

Someone Else Who Liked What I Did Might Turn Around And Say, "she's Reworking And Rethinking Everything. She Could Just Be Making Blankets Now, And Be A Lot Wealthier." I'm Actually Making It Difficult For Myself. I Wouldn't Call It Re-branding. If I Get Bored With My Work, Then Other People Will - It's That Simple. And I'm Not Gonna Get Bored With What I'm Doing. I'll Struggle And Fight And Do New Things To Excite Myself - And Do It In My Own Sweet Way.

When I Have An Exhibition, I Usually Arrange It So That If People Want To, They Can Spend Two Hours There. That Way, People Who Like It Don't Feel Cheated When They Go. I Want Them To Walk Into The Exhibition Space And Look Low And At Other Levels And Angles. The Same With Emotions. I Want Them To Be Emotionally Manipulated, To Come Out Feeling Something. I Want Them To Laugh, Smile, Feel Sad. Even If They Feel Angry, That's Okay.
