In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.

I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.

Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.

The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.

I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.

All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.

Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
