Sadie Lee's Star Test Interview
|
Who
would play you in the film of your life?
|
In my dreams Johnny Depp in Chanel lipstick but in reality I'll play me and Ulma Thurman all my ex-girlfriends. | |
|
Which
painting would you nick from the national gallery?
|
I would rather do a trolley dash around the Metropolitan Museum of Art but I suppose it would have to be Paul Delaroche 'The execution of Lady Jane Grey' | |
|
If
you could paint anyone in the world who would it be?
|
My wish list includes Marianne Faithful, Yoko Ono, Cynthia Payne and Jo Brand .......you get the picture! | |
|
What's
your worst christmas present ever?
|
Bright green knee high socks with toes! | |
|
Damien
hirst - hero or zero?
|
Unfashionably I take my hat off to the man. I don't think I'd want to get stuck in a lift with him but I think he deserves the praises he so frequently gets bestowed on him. | |
|
If
your paintings were to be hung in the tate gallery who would you like to
be next to?
|
Jenny Holzer's inflammatory essays pip Gillian Wearing to the post. | |
|
Where
do you get your inspiration for paintings?
|
They're all of real people, so their behaviour will suggest certain images but there are common themes running through like theatricality and ambiguous facial expression. | |
|
Which
song sums up your paintings?
|
Atmosperically 'At Seventeen' by Janis Ian, for the one line 'for ugly duckling girls like me'. | |
|
Which
famous person would you like to get drunk with?
|
Dorothy Parker, but I'd probably be the butt of her jokes! | |
|
If
you could take one of your paintings to a desert island which would it
be?
|
The biggest one - Ame Lame 'Amy's Room' and use it as a raft to get away but my favourite is 'Pinky' at the moment. |
