As a working-class girl, receiving free school dinners, I studied art history. Having never had the chance to visit art galleries, I devoured the knowledge, and it has served me well as a practising artist.
I've always liked artists like Chris Burden, who would take performances, put them in galleries, and then do things that were on the edge.
I cycled when I was at high school, then reconnected with bikes in New York in the late '70s. It was a good way of getting around the clubs and galleries of the Lower East Side and Soho.
I haven't done much art shopping in Vegas. It tends to be from galleries that are London- or L.A.- or New York-based. We've never had someone standing over our shoulder telling us something is a good investment.
My first teenage holiday was spent touring the great art galleries of Europe after having been inspired by what I had seen on television.
When some people were going around being surf bums and tennis bums, I was being a gallery bum. I really liked galleries.
We live in a world where art exists in galleries and museums, and musicians have to play the same venues over and over.
I love Tate Modern; there's such great style and shopping here. I love the galleries and the pubs out on the street, just having your pint as the sun is setting.
People of my generation who became photographers in the late fifties, early sixties, there were no rewards in photography. There were no museum shows. Maybe MOMA would show something, or Chicago. There were no galleries. Nobody bought photographs.
I love art, being so close to the galleries, being by the water - and sunsets from the terrace.
