The Camera Is Objective. When

I Always Thought Problem Solving Was Greatly Overrated - And That The Most Important Thing Was Problem Creation.

I Think I Was Driven To Paint Portraits To Commit Images Of Friends And Family To Memory. I Have Face Blindness, And Once A Face Is Flattened Out, I Can Remember It Better.

After A Few Days In Hospital, I Was Thinking, Oh, Gee - I Raised In A Church, Protestant Upbringing Which I'd Rejected As An Adult - I'm Lying In Bed Thinking, Hmmm, Maybe I Ought To Pray. They Always Say There Are No Atheists In A Foxhole... And I Thought, Here I Am In A Pretty Good-sized Foxhole... And I Thought Naahhh. I Wouldn't Respect Any God Who Would Listen To Me After I'd Rejected Him So Vociferously.

Sometimes I Really Want To Paint Somebody And I Don't Get A Photograph That I Want To Work From.

I Don't Work With Inspiration. Inspiration Is For Amateurs. I Just Get To Work.
