Drawing Takes Time. A Line Has Time

Because I'm Interested In Depiction, Representation, Therefore You're Interested In Photography. You Don't Ignore It.

I Was 18 When I First Visited London, I'm Very Provincial Like That, But I Must Confess The Moment I Got To America I Thought: This Is The Place. It Was More Open, With 24-hour Cities And Pubs And Restaurants That Didn't Close.

What I Always Longed To Do Was To Be Able To Paint Like I Can Draw, Most Artists Would Tell You That, They Would All Like To Paint Like They Can Draw.

In One Gallery They Actually Had A Notice Which Said No Sketching. How Obnoxious! I Said, How Do You Think These Things Got On The Walls If There Was No Sketching?

I Think We Seem To Remember Things In Still Pictures. I Never Gave Up On Painting. When They Said Painting Was Dead, I Just Thought, Well, That's All About Photography, And Photography's Not That Interesting, And It's Changing Anyway.
