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

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

East Yorkshire, to the uninitiated, just looks like a lot of little hills. But it does have these marvelous valleys that were caused by glaciers, not rivers. So it is unusual.

I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.

When you stop doing something, it doesn't mean you are rejecting the previous work. That's the mistake; it's not rejecting it, it's saying, 'I have exploited it enough now and I wish to take a look at another corner.'

I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
