Photorealism says: to fool your eye. That isn't what I've been interested in doing.

We discard the personal specifics which don't conform to the ideal conventional beauty created by art directors and cinematographers.

I read that prior to the advent of color TV, most people dreamed in black and white.

I always thought being an artist was a lazy job. I was wrong.

I love seeing things that work in the micro and work in the macro.

Fondness for people can be terrifying, because it's intangible and it can disappear, or it can be taken away, or you can say the wrong thing. A million things, so it's so uncomfortable. So when you suddenly become aware of it because they don't call you or something for half an hour or whatever, you lose it.

When we as a society lose the ability to comment on what we see and to have an opinion on what we are exposed to, then we have all lost what makes us unique on this planet.
