I haven't collected memorabilia. I am not a person who lives in the past.

There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.

I don't collect any memorabilia. I wish I'd have kept everything I had. But who knew you had to keep it. Just gave it away. And we lost so much and we didn't look after a lot of it.

I don't collect books just because other people collect them, and I'm not going to have books in my collection if I think it's badly written.

I used to collect comic books. I had a substantial collection. I collect records also, but those have gone the way of the world.

I actually collect old First and Second World War memorabilia.

Yes, my works... are enshrined in museums, but I don't care if the pieces fall apart in 20 years.

I'm not a collector. I toss things out all the time.

A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy.

I'm a bit of a pick-pocket on-set. If something is small enough to go in my pocket, and it will be neat memorabilia, it's gone.
