I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.

We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way.

What the art historians had forgotten is that in Chinese, Japanese, Persian, and Indian art, they never painted shadows. Why did they paint shadows in European art? Shadows are because of optics. Optics need shadows and strong light. Strong light makes the deepest shadows. It took me a few years to realize fully that the art historians didn't grasp that. There are a lot of interesting new things, ideas, pictures.

In my old age, I'll be in L.A.

I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.

Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.

If you like music you like silence actually.
