I like to move among painters, mathematicians, psychologists, people who can tell me something. ↗

I used to paint landscapes without any people in them but now I paint people who happen to be in a particular place. They might be outside a pub, or on a beach or in a studio. They might have clothes on or they might not. ↗

Painting is seen as picture making, the making of an art object, something that can stand on its own. ↗

I never know what it's going to look like. Wouldn't be much point in painting if I already knew the outcome. I have a subject in front of me and I start flooding colour and making marks, I don't know, it's improvisation isn't it? ↗

I'm not, by nature, a collaborator. My biggest influences were people like painters and poets. These are solitary workers. ↗

I'm a secretive bastard. I would never let anybody watch me painting... it would be like somebody watching you have sex - painting is that personal to me. ↗

At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery. ↗

And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture. ↗

So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent. ↗
