I'm not trying to achieve perfection. I don't like this forced control people have over work.

I've dubbed myself as an amateur, not because I work in different field, but because I do what I do for love.

I'm going to get a pair of wire-snips, and I've also started a new campaign to have blank CDs on jukeboxes so you can play the silence.

I think that the mythology of Van Gogh's life, and the beauty of his paintings, is unstoppable.

My favourite things are jokes, friendliness and feeling comfortable.

I make sure I make a painting - that's my job. And I cook the Sunday dinner.
