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

I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.

I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.

I haven't stopped painting or drawing - I've just added another medium.

Yes, I did, I mean I painted er, in a kind of abstract expressionist way, because of course that was exciting.

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.

I'm always excited by the unlikely, never by ordinary things.
