Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.

Shadows sometimes people don't see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

But, I would always be thinking of how pictures are constructed and colour, how to use it, I mean you're using it for constructing, makes you think about it, the place did as well.

East Yorkshire, to the uninitiated, just looks like a lot of little hills. But it does have these marvelous valleys that were caused by glaciers, not rivers. So it is unusual.

Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.

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