I'm constantly making exhibitions in my head.

Many of the museum directors who make an impact personally curate exhibitions.

The type of work I do, which is often called 'Pop Surrealism,' is very separate from Gagosian and Mary Boone type of gallery art.

I've got a great collection of photography.

When I was 17, I met many artists, and it started to become this conversation with artists out of which all of my exhibitions grew.

I love going to galleries, particularly the National Portrait Gallery.

I first thought about doing a project about Anna Wintour and 'Vogue' when I read an article in 'New York Magazine' about the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Ball, the annual fundraising gala that Anna oversees. It created such a fascinating portrait that I couldn't help but be compelled.

All of the art that I love is about peeling back layers and delving into something that's in a subconscious or dream realm. People like Jan Svankmajer, or the artist Yoshimoto Nara, or David Lynch.

I love to work with artists that were able to find a brand new name and create something really exciting and fresh.
