Yet, Like The Sea And The Gallows,

I Don't In Any Sense Think Of Myself As A Celebrity, Which Of Course I'm Not.

It's Only Recently That We've Discovered That The Artist's Inner Self Is Somehow More Important Than The Public World. I'm Happier To Create Exterior Pieces For The World Rather Than To Express Something I Deeply Feel Or Wish To Say.

I Just Wanted To Be An Ordinary, Middle-class Person. When I Was At Cambridge I Made Great Efforts To Lose The Last Remnants Of My Cockney Accent.

I Saw A Ghost Once, About 20 Years Ago. It Took The Form Of Someone Coming Out Of A Sleeping Body And Sitting At The Foot Of The Bed.

I Don't Know If I Have A Voice Of My Own. I Don't See Me Being An Important Person With Something To Say. I Haven't. I've Got Nothing To Say. My Opinion Is Of No Consequence Or Value.
