I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.

You can't name the inventor of the camera. The 19th-century invention was chemical: the fixative.

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

Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.

I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money - I think that can be a burden - I’m greedy for an exciting life.

But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.

There are enough no smoking places now.
