Movie actors disappear - any young person wouldn't know Cary Grant. They're going to disappear. Fifty years ago, you thought film was here to stay. But nothing is here to stay, actually - except perhaps paintings and drawings.

My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.

Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.

There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does; that's what counts.

I did come from a pretty independent-minded family.

I think photography has made us see the landscape in a very dull way - that's one of its effects. It's not spatial.
