It Pleases Me That People Can Be

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.

Maybe I Don't Believe Things Myself, As Well. Truth Is Such A Transient Thing...

Most People Don't Do Something Seminal. I've Done It Twice: With My Tent And My Bed. Picasso Did It With Cubism.

People Try Constantly To Use Me And I Hate It.

The People In Miami Are So Different From Anywhere Else I've Been In America. They're So Down To Earth, Really Friendly, And Quite Self-effacing, With A Good Sense Of Humor. I'm Not Saying Other Parts Of America Don't Have A Sense Of Humor, But Miami Maybe Has To Have A Really Good Sense Of Humor For Lots Of Different Reasons, And It Works. It Works For Me.
