Our appearance belongs to others, we live in the darkness of the body-part of all darkness but felt.

We are not moving towards some kind of goal. We are at the goal, and it is changing with us. If art has any purpose, it is to open our eyes to that fact.

It is a depressing business talking to journalist.

I think critics are very useful. But I think that they, in a way, betray their position when they stop people looking for themselves.

Art has to change things, and if it was immediately acceptable it would not be doing the job.

I always like to look for adventure when I go away. I have gone on several horse adventures with my wife - from Guangxi we went up to the High Tibetan region. We also went along the Hurunui River on horseback in the South Island of New Zealand.

Art is not about understanding, it’s about experience.
