Because I'm interested in depiction, representation, therefore you're interested in photography. You don't ignore it.

I've no doubt that those photographs i took will make people look at everything in a more interesting way - the little tear on one piece of paper, the shadow on another. But good painting has always done that - made you see things. And the most ordinary can be the most extraordinary.

Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.

Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.

Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.

The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.

What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
