I'm not convinced that creative people have mentors because that's what makes them different; they just do their own thing. If anyone had tried to tell me how to go about something, I'd have run a mile. But I have certainly had a few influences in my life.
I am really trying not to eat cheese at night. It's become a real problem and I have now got high cholesterol. I have to do something about it.
I can't be bothered with reality shows; I'd rather go and look through someone's letter box.
I don't know much about modern art, but I guess I am modern art.

I met and became close with John Szarkowski of the Museum of Modern Art. He was incredibly supportive about me working in color.
I am the sort of guy who does go to modern art shows.
Journalists like to invent a person, and it's not necessarily the person that they're writing about. The image the tabloids try to create of me and Bob is very different from how we really are. They try to make us out to be mad jokers. But I wouldn't want to put journalists down. That's their job.
