I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.

I'm perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.

If you're willing to take the humiliation of sticking your head above the crowd, maybe it's, you know, the pleasure will be worth the pain.

I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I've had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn't been dull; I've been the Hiroshima of love.

I love art more than anything in the world except for my family.

I've been involved in something which was chaotic and insane. All I can say now is that I am, and intend to stay, a single man.

If I'd succeeded right away at acting I wouldn't have sought out writing.
