" If you stick to your dream script, you will have a boring and meaningless life. " - Grayson Perry

" There are some very unsavoury aspects of art dealing that go with the unregulated nature of the market but its all part of the glamour. Glamour always has an unsavoury edge. I dont want to come across as preachy. " - Grayson Perry

" I think Im addicted to periods of doubt and low confidence. I think you should worry if you dont have them because then youre not trying hard enough. " - Grayson Perry

" Well, intellectual importance is directly linked to financial value in the art world. I mean, thats the thing you really want – museum quality. You want to go down in the annals of art history. " - Grayson Perry

" You cant be an artist without going to art school. Its impossible. Art schools like being plunged into a sheep dip that inoculates you against cliches. It gives you a sensibility you need to get into the art world. " - Grayson Perry

" Often men dont even realise theyre sad. Boys are brought up to unconsciously feel they would be breaking their man contract if they were to cry too much. " - Grayson Perry
