I love putting paint on canvas, getting lost in the process of painting.

I really enjoy squeezing out a big lump of paint directly onto the canvas and leaving it; fresh, immediate and sometimes shocking.

I did painting before I did photography.

I work on stretched linen canvas, sized so that the surface already has a sense of tension when I begin. It is a very rich and reactive surface. I begin by drawing on the canvas with a kind of loose line, very simply and freely. I paint very thinly, which allows me to change the drawing if I want to.

I put on the canvas whatever comes into my mind.

When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing.

I found I have to stay painting.

I love painting so much that nothing else matters.

I never know what I'm going to put on the canvas. The canvas paints itself. I'm just the middleman.

In film, you're painting a canvas. I got really excited about that.
