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

I love the idea of bringing my work to the general public, not just people who go to gallery openings.

I like all sorts of art, that's why I love wandering around The National Gallery.

I love art, being so close to the galleries, being by the water - and sunsets from the terrace.

There's something pleasing about large, well-lit spaces. I love that dealers are willing to take massive chances in order to give this much room to their artists. Most of all, I love that more galleries showing more art gives more artists a shot.

Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there's time.

When I get some down time on the weekends, I love gallery hopping with friends, in particular checking out Gagosian Galleries - between the three in N.Y.C., there's always a great show on or something cool to see.

I used to live in New York, and I know a number of people who have friends who work at galleries. I spent time hanging out with them, going to openings. It was a good way to do research, to hang out and to look at the art that was present.

I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art.

I'm constantly making exhibitions in my head.
