The Way We See Things

I Stay Up Nights And Fiddle With My Opera Designs. It's A Bit Obsessive. That's Why I Can't Do It All The Time.

I Went To Art School Actually When I Was Sixteen Years Old.

I Was Aware That The Teaching Of Drawing Was Being Stopped Almost 30 Years Ago. And I Always Said, 'the Teaching Of Drawing Is The Teaching Of Looking.' A Lot Of People Don't Look Very Hard.

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.

But, I Would Always Be Thinking Of How Pictures Are Constructed And Colour, How To Use It, I Mean You're Using It For Constructing, Makes You Think About It, The Place Did As Well.
