I've always loved painting, although I never show anyone what I've done. Mainly because I don't do it well. But it's like a form of visual diary for me. A way of fixing things in my mind.

Everything, every part that you approach has to be somehow rooted in yourself. You have to somehow root everything so that it's not just words coming out of you.

I don't think anybody can be told how to act. I think you can give advice. But you have to find your own way through it.

I'd rather do a part because I want to, not because great things are expected of me.

The difficulty with any sort of esteem is that more is expected of you.

I don't really want to retire. I intend to go on working as long as I can because I still have a huge amount of energy.

Every experience that you experience yourself you use, because that's our craft.
