It's all right if you don't mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops—for a split second.

I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.

Faces are the most interesting things we see

I have always believed that art should be a deep pleasure...ther e is always, everywhere, an enormous amount of suffering. But I believe my duty as an artist is to overcome and alleviate the sterility of despair...New ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling... I do believe that painting can change the world.

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

But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.

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