I'm a little bit perverse, and I just hate doing the thing that's the most obvious.

My preference is that, that day when someone sticks a tripod in front of you with a camera on the top, it is not day one.

In all fields of creativity you see the result of work that has become habit. Where the creative impulse has become flaccid or has died out altogether, and yet because it is our work and our life we continue to do it.
