I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.

Photography sees surfaces, it doesn't see space. We see space but the camera doesn't.

Style is something you can use, and you can be like a magpie, just taking what you want. The idea of the rigid style seemed to me then something you needn't concern yourself with, it would trap you.

...all along I've had an ambivalent relationship to photography - but as to whether I thought it an art form, or a craft, or a technique, well, I've always been taken with Henry Geldzahler's answer to that question when he said, I thought it was a hobby.

Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.

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

As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
