I think that, to be an artist, you have to have a big enough ego to believe that people out in the world want to see what you think is a good idea. And if you don't have that sense of ego, then the minute that idea goes into the world, self-doubt kicks in. Sam Taylor-Wood artistbigdoubt share on social

I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier. Sam Taylor-Wood cryeasymake Change image and share on social
Britain can sometimes feel like a very small village, and you're this, I dunno, scarlet woman they're all gossiping about. Sam Taylor-Wood britaindunnofeel Change image and share on social

At school, I always felt the art room was the place where you could sit and talk. It was a place of solace. I wasn't the best artist at school by a long shot; it was more the understanding and the support that came from that room. Sam Taylor-Wood artartistfelt share on social
I feel lucky to be getting older. The fact that I made it to 30 and then 40 was big enough. So I can't get too down on getting older; otherwise, it kind of undoes everything I've fought for. Sam Taylor-Wood bigfactfeel Change image and share on social
