With the advent of genetic engineering the time required for the evolution of new species may literally collapse. ↗

But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years. ↗

But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't. ↗

I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them. ↗

I generally only paint people I know, I'm not a flatterer really. ↗

I stay up nights and fiddle with my opera designs. It's a bit obsessive. That's why I can't do it all the time. ↗

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

You can't name the inventor of the camera. The 19th-century invention was chemical: the fixative. ↗

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 vulnerable to criticism. Any artist is, because you work alone in your studio and, until recently, critics were the only way you'd get any feedback. ↗
