Stella Vine quotes - page 2
I felt like a social worker a lot of the time.

No, it doesn't mean anything, does it? People occasionally ask for your autograph or say, ‘I saw you in the paper', but that doesn't mean anything at all.

I have always been drawn to the beauty and the tragedy of Diana's life which I hope I've captured in this new series of paintings. I wanted to show her.

You're very vulnerable when you're naked. The psychology is a bit weird. It's all in the eyes between the two people so you've got to be confident. You've really got to pretend you are enjoying it. I tended to have lots of conversations with lonely old men and to meet lots of nutters as well. I have incredible tolerance for darkness. I can take on board quite a lot of damaged people, but it takes its toll psychologically.

This is a dark painting with a bit of violence because I was very affected by Diana's death. I cried all day because I liked her, warts and all. Most of all I liked the way that she wanted to be loved and didn't mind admitting it.

I didn't think anyone really liked what I was doing and I literally have the bailiffs at my door.

I heard Postgate's Desert Island Discs last year and I was very impressed by him as a man, and thoroughly enjoyed his choice of When the Saints Come Marching In. Listening to a creative visionary, one's life suddenly feels exciting again - you just want to get making, and doing. Thank God for people like Oliver Postgate - when you discover them, life takes on a whole new meaning. What an incredible man.

I was making very aggressive provocative paintings. Whether the Rachel paintings, or the Diana paintings, I've sensed over the three or four years that I've been in getting press attention, I've sensed that it has not been that long since the woman painter was not allowed in the Royal Academy, and not allowed to paint nude men, and thee is such a huge body of work that men have made, versus the small body of work made by women, that I am not surprised to get this response.

I was just falling in love right, left and centre with these gorgeous young artists who came in the gallery. They'd see this fat old stripper, this nutter who runs a butcher's shop that she thinks is an art gallery, and who thinks she's some artist but hasn't even been to art school... They probably thought, "Christ, who is this woman who's texting me 20 times a day?"
