I never think about my style but just try and make the pictures look believable.

The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.

When I look at a body it gives me choice of what to put in a painting, what will suit me and what won't.

I would wish my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them.

My work is purely autobiographical... It is about myself and my surroundings.

A painter's tastes must grow out of what so obsesses him in life that he never has to ask himself what it is suitable for him to do in art.
