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

I worked in the NHS as a hospital orderly during my national service, and people thought it was a noble service. But over the years it's lost its humanity.

Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.

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

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

I see the iPad as a wonderful new drawing medium, but I am at a loss as to how to make it pay.

Shadows sometimes people don't see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny.
