"The boundaries of painting excite me. You’ve got the same old materials - just oils and a canvas - and you’re trying to do something that’s been done for centuries. And yet, within those limits, you have to make something new or exciting for yourself as well as other people."

"A man wakes up in the morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, it’s a beautifully optimistic day. He takes a deep breath of fresh air, beats his chest and feels invincible… The same man wakes up the next day, he cowers and shivers beneath the sheets, too afraid to leave the safety of his own bed… The sky is grey and there are dark thoughts floating above his head. He feels redundant, lost and vulnerable - totally alone in the world… This is the life of an artist."
