home iphone needs
I can see that cinema seems to be finished. Everybody has a bigger screen at home. I'm assuming eventually you won't need a screen at all - these iPhones will just project.
moving thinking get-better
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.

Drawing takes time. A line has time in it
photography real depiction
Photography hankers after the condition of the neutral observer. But there can be no such things as a neutral observer. For something to be seen, it must be looked at by somebody, and any true and real depiction must be an account of the experience of that looking.
thinking levels portraits
And then I went round the corner and there's a Van Gogh portrait, and you just think, well, this is another level. A higher level, actually. I love the Sargent, but it's not the level of Van Gogh.
want paint wanted
I was never that interested in movies. I was interested in them as a thing, but I didn't want to make movies. I always wanted to draw and paint.
spontaneity harder bits
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
