“Im as masculine as the next man - get me on the mountain bike and Im vicious.” — Grayson Perry

I think that democracy has a lowest common denominator thing going on, so it might be the best of a bad bunch of political systems; but as a way of making art, actually, its not always that great, because it boils everything down.

I operate on anger quite a lot. Its what gets me up in the morning to make art quite often. Well, irritation at least.

Maybe if they didnt tense up, always need to be competitive, always need to be in charge, always need to be the one at the top, men might find that there are benefits from releasing the grip of power.

I think I grew up in an 'acultural' household - no books, no paintings, never went to an art gallery. I say that, but of course we had the TV.
