annoying
I'm annoying to be around because I keep twitching.
future learned life project question
I really have learned to live in the moment. I don't question things too much or try to project into the future. That's how life should be.
relationship
In the old days, 'controversial' in a relationship meant same-sex or mixed races.
constantly hard sit
I'm twitchy. I think I've got ADD. I find it hard to sit down. I need to be constantly challenged; otherwise, I get very... well, I guess 'bored' is the word.
power
In 'Fifty Shades,' seemingly, Christian has all the power and control - but actually, Anastasia does.
bit drinking rein round running spend time yoga
I can be a bit extreme. I'll spend too much time running round the park, doing yoga and drinking green tea. I can get a bit obsessive. I have to rein it in sometimes.
amazing love married
It was so amazing to fall crazily in love and get married and have kids.
I want to protect my vision, and that's the hardest thing.
ended
I try to leave things as open ended as possible, not too overladen with meaning.
art badly came endless family meant saw
Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself.
beneath fertile interested life line lived lives people present private public quite taking work
The line between private and public lives is a fertile one for me. I've lived quite a public life, and it's the reason I have used well-known people in my work. I'm interested in what's going on beneath the facades they present to the world, taking them to a place which is uncomfortable.
distance thinking defining-moments
I think you only see experiences as defining moments with distance.
kids house want
I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.
cancer unfair
I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.
