The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict.

I'm not really a cutter-off sort of person. I'll chat to anybody.

Boxing is just show business with blood.

I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.

I was in a no-win situation, so I'm glad that I won rather than lost

For example, I like using strong Greek and Roman Renaissance characters as part of my series.

I chose faces and figures as my subject matter simply due to the fact that the human form is already beautiful art.
