Anything simple always interests me.

The camera can't see space. It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting.

Britain is a very small country with a very large press.

It's very British to go about to see something unusual and paint it.

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

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

I do do a lot of talking, because it saves me listening.
