For Me, Art Is Always A Kind

To Be An Artist Is Not About Fame; It's About Art, Which Is This Intangible Thing That Has Got To Have Lots Of Integrity, Whereas Being Famous Doesn't Really Take Any Integrity. But I Think You Have To Admit That You Want To Be Famous, Otherwise You Can't Be An Artist. Art And Fame Together Are Like A Desire To Live Forever.

Most People Live In The City And Go To The Country At The Weekend, And That's Posh And Aristocratic, But Actually To Live In The Country And Come To London When You Can't Take It Any More Is Different.

But I'm More Interested In Why People Are Frightened By Jaws And Why Jaws Was Such A Hit Than Saying Spielberg's My Main Influence.

Great Art - Or Good Art - Is When You Look At It, Experience It And It Stays In Your Mind. I Don't Think Conceptual Art And Traditional Art Are All That Different.

I Think I've Always Been Afraid Of Painting, Really. Right From The Beginning. All My Paintings Are About Painting Without A Painter. Like A Kind Of Mechanical Form Of Painting. Like Finding Some Imaginary Computer Painter, Or A Robot Who Paints.
