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?"
