OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?

Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.

Technology brought in the mass media and technology is now taking it away.

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

I think we seem to remember things in still pictures. I never gave up on painting. When they said painting was dead, I just thought, Well, that's all about photography, and photography's not that interesting, and it's changing anyway.

When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.

California is always in my mind.
