  • When I stop working, I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture, or whatever they do, and go home. For me, it has to be continuous.

  • It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

  • The trouble with people like Tony Blair is they get confused, they think intelligence is education when they're two different things.

  • The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading.

  • I love learning new techniques.
