I don't do all of this as an indulgence. I do it because I'm not a good enough actor to not do it.

I avoid talking about the way I work. But in avoiding it I seem only to have encouraged people to focus their fantasies about me in an ever more fantastical way on the details that are not at all at the centre of the work.

I have a strange relationship with time. I'm not aware of it passing.

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

If you have a certain wildness of spirit, a cabinet maker's workshop is not the place to express it.

I like to learn about things.

God knows, I haven't always been successful.
