I wish I had challenged the bullying and challenged people's perceptions of me growing up. That's why I want to make sure that what I do develops an inclusive and tolerant Australia and give people the gift of seeing the world through an artist's eye.

On the National Gallery: [3]

We're the first to admit the national collection needs to constantly evolve. It needs to constantly reflect what Australia is. It isn't limited by state borders, it's about harnessing the national psyche and taking the pulse of the world through the eyes of artists. ... People think it's about personal taste. It's not. I consider it to be a science. I analyse the past, I think about what's in the collection, I survey what's happening now, and then have to make judgements about what's available.
