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?

The history of photography needs clearing out. It needs something else now. Because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.

Drawing takes time. A line has time in it

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

I have got an iPad, what a joy! Van Gogh would have loved it, and he could have written his letters on it as well.

Everything does come from nature. That's where you get new ideas. Just draw the landscape. I felt doing it with a bit of burnt wood was also good because I was drawing burnt wood with a piece of wood. I wanted to do black and white. After using color, I thought black and white would be good. You can have color in black and white. There is color in them, actually.

There is nothing wrong with photography, if you don't mind the perspective of a paralysed Cyclops.
