Who's going to ask a painter to see a diploma? They'd say, 'Can I see your paintings?', wouldn't they?

Drawing takes time. A line has time in it

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

I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.

I can get excitement watching rain on a puddle. And then I paint it. Now, I admit, there are not too many people who would find that exciting. But I would. And I want life thrilling and rich. And it is. I make sure it is.

The moment I got a very big studio, everything took off.

There are enough no smoking places now.
