I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.

In the 19th century, a lot of people were against outlawing child labour, because to do so would be against the very foundations of a free market economy: 'These children want to work, these people want to employ them... what is your problem? It's not as if anyone has kidnapped them...'

If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.

Once you've grown to accept something and it becomes part of the system you've inherited, you don't even notice it any longer.

I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.

The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.

Painting, I think it's like jazz.
