You must plan to be spontaneous.

I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.

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

I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.

I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.

The photograph isn't good enough. It's not real enough.

I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.
