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

I've no doubt that those photographs i took will make people look at everything in a more interesting way - the little tear on one piece of paper, the shadow on another. But good painting has always done that - made you see things. And the most ordinary can be the most extraordinary.

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

California is always in my mind.

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

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.

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.
