I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.

I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.

I do do a lot of talking, because it saves me listening.

I can get excitement watching rain on a puddle. And then I paint it. Now, I admit, there are not too many people who would find that exciting. But I would. And I want life thrilling and rich. And it is. I make sure it is.

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