  1. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

  2. I'm creative. I can't relax unless I've got some project on the go. I'm somebody from art school, and art school during the punk era, when you just had a go at whatever came along.

  3. There are a few principles.
    the importance of going your own way; you are your own gyroscope.
    Don't knowingly repeat art history, why do something the outcome of which is already known.
    Your personality will come out in the work regardless, you don't have to worry about expressing yourself.
    And lastly, there will inevitably be certain works which are problematic, which resist being resolved. A work that will seem to have some missing component. Keep the problematic work around the studio, to keep looking at it every day, and at some point, it might be a year later, the missing ingredient will occur to you.

  4. It is useful to be able to draw a figure quickly and fluently. It will enable you to make a complete work during a one-minute pose and will also allow you to apply your skills to moving subjects, making it possible for you to capture something of real life outside the studio.
