I'm convinced that technology and art go together - and always have, for centuries.

I'm not really looking for theater work. But if somebody approaches me with enthusiasm, I might respond.

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.

It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.

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

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.

All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
