At a certain age it just became apparent to me that this was probably the work that I would have to do.

The whole thing of weight, I guess it's because there is a wider fascination we all have with weight.

I hate wasting people's time.

Many years ago, I really didn't know where the next work was coming from.

When I do work, I feel the same sort of urgency as I ever did. If I didn't feel that, I don't think I would wish to be doing it. I wouldn't really see the point.

Quite honestly, if I were doing work related to a living being or historical being where there was visual or audio recordings available, I would find that extremely difficult because I don't know how you would avoid the process of mimicry. And mimicry, to me at any rate, is a very dull prospect.

I spend many months in apparently listless rumination out of which I hope something will emerge.
