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

Shadows sometimes people don't see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny.

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

I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.

I'm not antisocial. I like people.

Like people, trees are all individuals.
