Part of ego is displaying the ego. I've got ego, and I think I'm really good. But maybe I fall down in trying to sell it to people.

The fact that few painter-fine-artists used photography in their work made it appealing.

There's so much going on today. I continually hear, sometimes from artists, that everything's done. It's been done. I fail to see that.

As an artist, I gotta stand up to my own work.

I have no social agenda with my work. I'm deadpan about it.

I knew I wanted to be some kind of artist from about 12. I met a neighbour who drew cartoons, and I had an idea I wanted to be a cartoonist - or something that involved Indian ink, at any rate.
