I've Always Wanted To Create Drama In

Sometimes, When I've Been Staring Too Hard, I've Noticed That I Could See The Circumference Of My Own Eye.

I Have A Hatred Of Habit And Routine. And What Dogs Love Is Just That. They Like Regular Everything, And I Don't Have Regular Anything. I Have A Timetable, But No Routine.

A Moment Of Complete Happiness Never Occurs In The Creation Of A Work Of Art. The Promise Of It Is Felt In The Act Of Creation But Disappears Towards The Completion Of The Work. For It Is Then The Painter Realises That It Is Only A Picture He Is Painting. Until Then He Had Almost Dared To Hope The Picture Might Spring To Life.

When I Look At A Body It Gives Me Choice Of What To Put In A Painting, What Will Suit Me And What Won't. There Is A Distinction Between Fact And Truth. Truth Has An Element Of Revelation About It. If Something Is True, It Does More Than Strike One As Merely Being So.

I Could Never Put Anything Into A Picture That Wasn't Actually There In Front Of Me. That Would Be A Pointless Lie, A Mere Bit Of Artfulness.
