A friend of mine back in 1989 did an illegal rave in Vauxhall. He got Keith Haring to come along and tag the side of the wall. My friend cut it out of the wall and he kept it under his bed for 20 years. Then a few years ago he asks me if I want to buy it... so I spent £12,000 on a Keith Haring.

I don't want to sell to street art collectors, I want to sell to art collectors.

I'm a bit too old for anarchy. If I was younger I might be more political but I'm married with kids and I've got a mortgage.

I'm a long way from being a Damien Hirst.

When I can, I enjoy working with local people to involve everyone in the community in changing their environment.

The feeling of sleepiness when you are not in bed, and can't get there, is the meanest feeling in the world.

I've gotten out of bed a lot of days for a lot less than $10,000.

You can only sleep in one bed at a time.

I used to wear boxers and a tank top, but now I sleep in the nude. It's kind of weird, because I used to have to wear something to bed, whether it was a tank top or whatever. And now if I have any clothes at all on, it's really hard to get to sleep.

I am not an early bird. I go to bed normally between midnight and 1 o'clock, so it is understandable that I cannot be an early bird. I wake up around 9 o'clock.
