But I'm More Interested In Why People

I Was Brought Up Catholic, And I Felt The Power Of Art From A Very Young Age - Seeing The Brutality Of All Those Images Of Flayed Apostles And Tortured Saints Was A Pretty Strong Introduction.

Art Is The Closest You Can Get To Immortality, Though It's A Poor Substitute - You're Working For People Not Yet Born - And People Want It Because It Is Brilliant. It Ends Up In Museums Anyway; The Rich Have To Give It Back To The People, It's Their Only Option. There Are No Pockets In A Shroud.

I Definitely Think About Death. And Every Day Your Relationship With Death Changes. And Every Day I Sort Of Feel Like I Know It More. I've Always Thought About It.

I Mean, People Listen To Music, And They Like That, But I Think In England, A Lot Of People Don't Like Contemporary Art.

A Lot Of People Thought I Wasn't Doing Anything Because I Was Spending A Lot Of Time Socialising And Going Out, But I've Always Managed To Get Work Actually Done.
