It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.

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?

The history of photography needs clearing out. It needs something else now. Because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.

Who would have thought that the telephone would bring back drawing?
