Women really like the horses, more so than men.

Painting is a solitary act for me; I don't need anyone around to make paintings.

Some of my work is very instinctive, some of my favourite things I've ever done are just two minute sketches, nothing is better when you get it like that so quick, then other work takes months.

Painting can be like poetry but as somebody who creates both I feel the necessity for both so they cant be that similar. Sometimes I think it's as basic as not wanting to get dirty.

I sometimes use music as way of getting back to a certain time, dredging up stuff from the past and putting it down on canvas.

Women really like the horses, more so than men.

To make music I rely on other people, which is good - that's the main difference in painting and music at this stage. They are separate parts of my life really, like having two jobs, one in a bar, one in a lighthouse.
