“When mobile phones came out, they were a status symbol. Now the status...” — Grayson Perry Quote

When mobile phones came out, they were a status symbol. Now the status symbol is having someone to manage your mobile phone for you.

From birth until I went to art college when I was 19, there are perhaps less than a dozen photographs of me.

I was once judging some prisoner art, and you wouldnt believe the number of eagles and tigers and symbols of freedom and wildness that came up. It was a really strong trope.

We live in a media saturated world. I'm sure artists of the past would have dealt with it in just the same way. If you're in the business of communication and images, then if you ignore the media-sphere you're just cutting off your own foot. It's just daft.

A life of a sportsperson is approximately 14-15 years long and fatigue will be a part of it, but they have to manage that.

I do try to be of some use in the world. I sometimes do volunteer work with kids, and manage to help some people a little, but really making a significant difference can be hard.

All kids need to figure out how to manage their time as a young adult.
