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.

The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.

I stay up nights and fiddle with my opera designs. It's a bit obsessive. That's why I can't do it all the time.

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.

I think photography has made us see the landscape in a very dull way - that's one of its effects. It's not spatial.

I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.

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.
