I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.

When I'm painting and drawing I only do people. Acting is obviously portraiture - and writing is as well.

I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true.

I have been told that some of my photographs maybe indicate that I am a painter.

Well, one always has an instinct to be a painter, and I've done quite a lot of painting at one time or another, though not with any public success.

I did painting before I did photography.

I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

I paint what I see, not what a camera would see.

Painting is almost like a sport. It's like this action thing. When I do it, I'm really not thinking. The paintings are like a diary that I might not want to read again.
