Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.

If you are not playful you are not alive.

You always need a bit of low-tech.You always need a pair of scissors, it seems to me. You can do better things.... The high-tech, somehow, you do have to combine it with low-tech things.

I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.

I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.

About shadows: do we see shadows? Loads of people don't. A camera will notice a shadow, but how many people have got a shadow in front of them when they take a picture and don't notice it, and then they see it in the photograph because the photograph will catch the shadow.

Style is something you can use, and you can be like a magpie, just taking what you want.
