I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.

Who would have thought that the telephone would bring back drawing?

I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can't hear, you somehow see.

I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.

I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.

The camera can't see space. It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting.

I'm a bit claustrophobic, I don't like crowds, I live by the sea - that's what I see when I come out of my house in Bridlington.
