I Don't Spend A Lot

I Don't Spend A Lot Of Time Working If I Can Help It.

I'm Not Trying To Achieve Perfection. I Don't Like This Forced Control People Have Over Work.

Before 1999, Tracey Emin And Sarah Lucas Offered To Get Me Exhibitions, But Joining The Stuckists Put A Kaibosh On All That - Because I Wasn't Prepared To Be Controlled. I Agreed To Co-found The Stuckists To Be Allowed To Say What I Wanted, And I Left The Stuckists Because I Didn't Really Want To Be In Them In The First Place.

I've Always Liked New York, As I Like Towns With An Edge And New York Has A European Feel, So When I Came To Play Music Here In The '80s It Was A Surprise To Me.

I Did Not Like Prizes At School. I Didn't Like Tests Or Exams, Or The 11+, Or O-levels. Later I Hated B.a.s And M.a.s. The Reason I Hated Them Is That I Don't Like Being Tested, Failed Or Falsely Praised By Anyone.
