Everything does come from nature. That's where you get new ideas. Just draw the landscape. I felt doing it with a bit of burnt wood was also good because I was drawing burnt wood with a piece of wood. I wanted to do black and white. After using color, I thought black and white would be good. You can have color in black and white. There is color in them, actually.

There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does; that's what counts.

The problem is, photographic dyes and printing inks aren't as good as paint, actually.

West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.

The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.

Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.
