I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.

An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.

I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.

I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.

It's very British to go about to see something unusual and paint it.

I thought using three cameras was a lot better than one, because you could see where you were going, where you'd been, and all kinds of things - more like life. I think photography has colored our vision. We're now in an area where it might break something. I think this is a time. I feel it. I don't know whether I'll be here long enough to experience it. I've no plans to leave yet.

I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
