A good teacher is like a good artist. They go right to the most difficult part of whatever's going on.

I get the feeling that sometimes the ideas work very well when you're doing them in the studio alone.

I don't like to think about being an influence. It's embarrassing.

But part of the enjoyment I take in it is finding the most efficient way to do it, which doesn't mean the corrections aren't made. I like to have a feeling of the whole task before I start, even if it changes.

If I was an artist, and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art.

Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.
