or often you feel, like, misunderstood, and you want to get into the dark side of life, not that you know anything about it particularly. and so bacon, for me, wasjust, he kind of spoke to me. ijust thought, "this is just amazing that someone does this." and also, he was very articulate. when did you first see his paintings? i can't remember. i must have been about 13, 14. i can't remember the first time. and then you read what he's written about himself and the interviews, and you see him in interviews. he's incredibly charismatic. you didn't go to art school, did you? no, thank god. i would have been taught all those techniques that| i don't want to know. i mean, i want to find my own technique, because if you're l trying to do something, if you're trying to do - something that's rather - different and new, you can't use the old techniquesl which, arm, which have already been used. you make your own technique. and he talks in a very interesting way about art, i felt. so i was absolutely smitten with him. and then you get to know more about him and his lifestyle, you just think, "wow, he's like a rock star," but a super—serious artist.

they weren't around. so help was a big influence on me, and television in general, i think. i'd watch tonnes of telly and, i mean, istill do, but that was something that was very important for me. so your parents, were they artistic? erm, not, not massively, no. but my father was interested in art and taking me to museums and art galleries. so that was something that, from an early age, i wasn't really kicking a ball around or that sort of thing. i was going to the imperial war museum, the horniman's museum, places like that, the natural history museum, cos if you live in london, you have that on your doorstep, almost literally. so that was something that was very important to me. all sorts of museums, then, all sorts of subjects. so it wasn't just the paintings, it wasn't just the art? well, ifanything, paintings came later cos you're looking at objects and, as a child, you want to look at objects. you want to look at, er, african masks or animals in pickle jars, and just stuffed animals. but ijust liked the acoustics of museums, the grandness,

prize do for you as an artist at the time? well, it's the classic. you know, you win the turner prize and then you start getting invited to things that you weren't invited to before. and that's the exact moment that you don't want to go to those things because you know they're only inviting you because of the turner prize. that sort of thing. but i think it gives you... you definitely get an upgrade. you went to the courtauld to study art history, so was the idea to become an art historian or a curator? yeah, the idea was to, to be around art, because i liked it and i liked doing art history, so i wanted to be around paintings and sculpture and that world. i liked the world. so you could have been a curator? yes, i could have been. i could, but it would have been terrible. after i graduated, i did try working in a museum as a volunteer. and it was a disaster because itjust, nothing happens. you know, you're sitting in an office, you're not spending time with art or looking at it. you're. .. you know, it's admin, and itjust drove me nuts.

that finished at the age of ii. but i loved paintings and i loved being around art, so that was something that was very special to me. on this cultural life, i ask my guests to choose those influences and experiences that have inspired their own creativity. and you've chosen film club at school, and in particular seeing ken russell's film version of tommy, the rock opera by the who. why have you chosen this? well, i don't think i've ever recovered from watching tommy, frankly. i'm still blown away by it, even that experience. i remember it very clearly. because, at school, the school was a very academic, sports—focused school, and there wasn't much fun to be had, to be honest. and one of the teachers there was clearly a very subversive character, and hejust had a film club and he just showed the most outrageous films. so he was clearly trying to bend the minds of these young boys, basically, and do that in a good way. and one of the films

and loved him even more after that because he'd been nice to me. did bacon inspire you to start your own painting at that time or drawing? no, iwould never attempt to sort of go down that route, that kind of fine art, old master—style painter. it just wasn't available to me. it's really interesting that in 2004, when you won the turner prize, the report on the ten o'clock news — "this is an artist who, "by his own admission, can't paint or draw." yeah. were you trying to reclaim the idea of what art was, do you think? maybe i was trying to be mischievous and say that i can't do it. i wasjust, i was putting my hands up in admission, at least. i wouldn't say i was trying to tell the truth, but i was just saying, putting it out there. mm. because, of course, art, like everything else in the world, has changed so much, and so it can't be like it was 200 years ago. where's all the illegal chemicals at? they didn't find no illegal chemicals whatsoever. he had our people killed. he had other people killed. what did winning the turner

the occasion of going to one. so it's something i've always loved. and that, it's always stayed with me. you went to dulwich college, a prestigious public school, one with a good art department, i presume? well, not for me, but it might have been for other people. but it was a very traditional school and run along very traditional lines. and so the art department, likewise, was a reflection of the ethos of the school. and so i didn't really... get on with the... it's quite amazing how you can, a teacher can take against you or you can take against a teacher. and so we were not... we didn't see eye—to—eye. even as an 11—year—old, you realise it's not going to work. a particular teacher? yes. just because he his view of art was very specific, and of drawing. it was all about precision. and i couldn't do that. and so that was... i was out, basically. it was the kind of school where if you weren't good at something, you weren't allowed to do it because it reflected badly on the school, as they saw. mm. so i did pottery, which was fine. it was a lot more fun, but i never returned to art after that, of drawing or painting. that was it.
