love people privilege time
I love people for giving me their time. It's a privilege - I make the most of it.
people work
I suppose because my work was so popular people didn't really look at it.
definitive involved lack mad movies people
I'm not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.
good
If something becomes old-fashioned, it was no good to start with. Think about it. Michelangelo is not old-fashioned.
life
The earth has a life of its own.
chance death doubt energy goes might somewhere time
I think about death all the time. I know there's nothing out there, but I'm curious. There's a 300 billion-to-one chance that there might be an energy that goes somewhere else, but I doubt it.
home paint people whatever
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.
money
Photography is more about money now but then so are most things.

If I have any sexist feelings they are aimed at men: I hate manly men.
african anarchy cleaner drives lots objects rearrange relate statues
It's not about composition. It's the way you feel about how your objects should relate to each other. I've got lots of African statues and things, and the cleaner arranges them like soldiers, which drives me mad. So I have to rearrange them, and I must drive her mad, because I'm doing anarchy and she's doing military manoeuvres.
belongs came century half second thinks
The first half of the 20th century belongs to Picasso, and the second half is about photography. They said digital would kill photography because everyone can do it, but they said that about the box brownie in 1885 when it came out. It makes photography interesting because everyone thinks they can take a picture.
best kate since
Kate Moss is the best thing since Jean Shrimpton, really.
changed changes drive driven dynamics effect fish natural nice people population powerful responding seen study trend
The predominant trend had been that people thought that fish have a powerful effect on their environment, and they drive the changes in everything else. What we've seen is the reverse, that fish are responding to a change in their habitat. We think that a lot of fish communities are fundamentally changed by fishing. Our study is really nice in that we are working on populations that have never been fished, so their population dynamics can be seen being driven by natural processes.
condition continue council monitor water
We will continue to monitor our water condition and keep the council informed.
