“If you’re good at the art and you wanna make money, then it’s fine. But if you’re just doing it because you know you’re gonna make money, then I don’t know. Some people do it just because they need the money, but it depends on a lot of things.”

That’s an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that.

Everyone else is just plodding along making a living. The key is not to live over your means and overdo it.

What will the present chaos lead to? How will it all end? It can only end in one way. Mankind will be sick of it all.

A photograph is a photograph. When I am making a picture I am just interested in making a very interesting photograph. I don’t care where it’s going to go.
