If I don't have room for an item, I put it in warehouses.

Even if you have $20,000 to buy an item, you still try to get a good price at antique stores. I collect furniture, rugs, paintings, frames. It's my hobby to go around to shops and markets.

When I go to a country, I go to flea markets, antique stores. I am always looking for something.

They offered me one cover about 10 years ago, and I said, no, I can't do it. I'm happy to cover up now.

Collecting is my passion.

I take care of my flowers and my cats. And enjoy food. And that's living.

Collecting is my joy; it gives me great satisfaction.

I love everything that's beautiful. A lot of things.

I wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself.

I hate to look at myself in a mirror, and I never go and see films.

Everything is a piece of me, a moment of my life.

You can’t be criticized for what you don’t try. You can’t lose your balance if you never climb. Give it, Give it all, Give it NOW.

I write because if I don’t let it out of my system, I will die with guilt.

I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.

I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.

Just remember, when you're with me you're not the strangest person in the room. Go ahead, get weird on me.

A lot of people would rather understand the market than make money

When I go to clubs, I dont have to wait outside.

I have a whole second act of ARTPOP and I love it.

There is a technical, literary term for those who mistake the opinions and beliefs of characters in a novel for those of the author. The term is 'idiot'.

Museums, I love museums.
