I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn't go to it out of hunger.

Painting is a hobby for me.

I've never made a movie to make money. I've never made a painting to make money.

I never stopped making pictures. There were times when more of my income was coming from other sources, and I had to devote more time to television and movies and records.

To make money, I did portraits . The truth is so bizarre! I'm kind of embarrassed. I was like a 19th-century pirate painter. I'd say, 'Your mom would love a painting of you!' A salesman! I'd hawk paintings.

I'm a painter, really. To be successful, you have to go to Hollywood, and I didn't like to travel.

I make paintings, try to get others to look at them and hopefully buy them.

So about twenty years ago I gave up on painting - and got into terrible debt after buying a load of camera gear!

I did painting before I did photography.

I paint every day. I really have no hobbies. That's all I do.
