I Know People Went To Laugh At

There's So Much Stuff Said About Me That's Not True, So Now If Something Is Hurtful And Wrong, I Send An E-mail Or Letter Immediately, Saying, This Is Not True.

Because Of The Amount Of Press Attention, People Went To See This Dirty Bed, As If It Was A Freak Show. But When They Got There, They Saw Something Else - The Bed, Stuff On The Walls, Whatever. For The Tate, It's The Highest Attendance They Ever Received For The Turner Prize Show. There Was A Massive Queue, And When You Got Into My Bit, You Couldn't Move.

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 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.
