I like photographs of anything uninteresting. Maybe just two doors on a wall... The point is to be uninteresting.

Work is my joy... Work is my therapy, I don't know anybody who loves work as much as I do.

I don't want a picture to look like something it isn't. I want it to look like something it is.

I never allowed myself the luxury of those brilliant, beautiful colors until I went to India and saw people walking around in them or dragging them in the mud. I realised they were not so artificial.

There was something about the self-confession and self-confusion of Abstract expressionism - as though the man and the work were the same - that personally always put me off because at that time my focus was in the opposite direction.

The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.

Sometimes I have taken photographs and just felt so excited that I could barely hold the camera steady, and the photo was boring.
