What came first: the artist or the journalist?I was an artist who became a journalist when I started doing my project Love TV, which has been going for 20 years. I was dressed as the goddess Aphrodite, inside a huge clam, and I interviewed people about love. It was an arts-based project, but because the core of it is conversation and interviews, I really developed my journalistic skills, querying people about their love lives.

I do not have the power to … read minds in the way that you think I do. But I can get a sense of who a person is and what they might want to reveal. When they’re on stage, I can choose whether I want to reveal this or not reveal that. And most of the time it’s something beautiful and positive that I will reveal. If there’s some thoughts in there about their recently divorced partner, that’s when I choose not to reveal those things.
