Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.
From David Hockney
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
Anything simple always interests me.
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
I do do a lot of talking, because it saves me listening.
What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I don't like crowds, I live by the sea - that's what I see when I come out of my house in Bridlington.
Like people, trees are all individuals.
