Attitude: on Art

'It's a matter of respect - it's given me a life.  I have to find out myself what a painting is all about - a lifetime isn't enough.  I love painting and finding out something about me and my experience of life - and I am intrigued.

All I've ever wanted is to do a good painting - it's the painting that matters.  You're forced into the position - because you're fucking hard up - that you've got to sell it - but you try to sell it to someone who appreciates what you're trying to do.'
