Any artist will tell you he's really only interested in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always. It's true, and it should be like that.

We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way

It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.

An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.

What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
