I'm fed up with being bossed around.

Yes, I did, I mean I painted er, in a kind of abstract expressionist way, because of course that was exciting.

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years.

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

There are enough no smoking places now.
