I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.

I hate painting.

I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.

No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.

There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.

I never set out to be a photographer.

I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

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 always wanted to be a painter. I loved painting. I went on three different art courses but had no talent whatsoever.

Being a painter is the only profession where you have to stand there with all your shortcomings on the wall.
