In one gallery they actually had a notice which said No Sketching. How obnoxious! I said, How do you think these things got on the walls if there was no sketching?

I've realized that I can do performances.

It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.

You always need a bit of low-tech.You always need a pair of scissors, it seems to me. You can do better things.... The high-tech, somehow, you do have to combine it with low-tech things.

About shadows: do we see shadows? Loads of people don't. A camera will notice a shadow, but how many people have got a shadow in front of them when they take a picture and don't notice it, and then they see it in the photograph because the photograph will catch the shadow.

Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.

I want life thrilling and rich. And it is. I make sure it is.
