I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.

I've always said that the only thing a photograph is good at capturing faithfully is another flat surface.

Great claims are being made for the photograph as truth. We are showing you things, we show you the war. I say you can't actually. The camera can't.

I'm always excited by the unlikely, never by ordinary things.

Britain is a very small country with a very large press.

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.

I was always struck by how Picasso had no interest in music.
