The Character Of The Artist Doesn't Enter

When I Look At A Body It Gives Me Choice Of What To Put In A Painting, What Will Suit Me And What Won't. There Is A Distinction Between Fact And Truth. Truth Has An Element Of Revelation About It. If Something Is True, It Does More Than Strike One As Merely Being So.

The Paintings That Really Excite Me Have An Erotic Element Or Side To Them Irrespective Of Subject Matter

I Think Half The Point Of Painting A Picture Is That You Don't Know What Will Happen... That If Painters Did Know What Was Going To Happen They Wouldn't Bother To Do It.

My Work Is Purely Autobiographical... It Is About Myself And My Surroundings.
