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

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.

You must plan to be spontaneous.

But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.

It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.

We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.

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