I wanted my work to be seen for free in a public space, I want to be up there with Pollock and de Kooning, one of the big boys. - Stella Vine

When Alexander McQueen bought the Kate Moss painting, she was really being persecuted. I can't remember the exact timing, but I think it was before the cocaine, when she was just having a hard time with Peter. I think that was when he bought that. I was really pleased because he was such a huge supporter of her. It was so terrible what was happening to her.

I identify with people like Diana who just want to be loved by everybody. If somebody doesn’t like me I find that very upsetting.

I hope that whoever stole it, stole it because they loved it, and not because of all the hype.
