"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."

"It was important to make a painting about a dining room, a living room, the garden, and infuse that with as much power as the banking world or law. . . . I’ve never lived a stripped down life. I don’t think I could. So regardless of fortune or misfortune, I would devise some sort of bubble or protection for myself. I mean in that sense it’s a really keen sense of survival, and a voracious one really."
