Great claims are being made for the photograph as truth. We are showing you things, we show you the war. I say you can't actually. The camera can't.

It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.

And then I went round the corner and there's a Van Gogh portrait, and you just think, well, this is another level. A higher level, actually. I love the Sargent, but it's not the level of Van Gogh.

Anything simple always interests me.

I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.

The photograph isn't good enough. It's not real enough.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
