Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

I did come from a pretty independent-minded family.

I think my father would have liked to have been an artist, actually. But I think he didn't quite have perhaps the drive or, I don't know, I mean he had a family to bring up I suppose.

You had to be aware that I saw that photography was a mere episode in the history of the optical projection and when the chemicals ended, meaning the picture was fixed by chemicals, we were in a new era.

I'm a very early riser, and I don't like to miss that beautiful early morning light.

I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning.

I was always struck by how Picasso had no interest in music.
