You Can Always Tell A Great Painting,

I Always Try To Make Everyone Mellow Down, Make Sure Everybody's Happy. The People I Have Employed Have Always Kind Of Stayed With Us. A Lot Of People Who Come To Work For You Are Artists In Their Own Right. And They Want To Work For You Because They Want To Pick Something Up.

A Lot Of People Thought I Wasn't Doing Anything Because I Was Spending A Lot Of Time Socialising And Going Out, But I've Always Managed To Get Work Actually Done.

Artists Are Like Everybody Else.

Even As A Kid In Drawing Class, I Had Real Ambition. I Wanted To Be The Best In The Class, But There Was Always Some Other Feller Who Was Better; So I Thought, It Cant Be About Being The Best, It Has To Be About The Drawing Itself, What You Do With It. Thats Kind Of Stuck With Me.

In Fact, The First Piece Of Art I Ever Sold, I Paid Someone Else To Make The Next One, So I Could Actually Keep Going Out Drinking.
