Quote

I never stop thinking about what I have to do. Let's put it that way. The only thing that takes me out of that is probably a film. I watch a lot of movies.

I'm always looking for relations between my work and the old masters.
Robert Barry

I'm used to being the background. I'm used to having work that only lasts for a little while. I'm used to being - working in the real world, where real things are.

Normally my head is always filled with art ideas and things that I have to do, deadlines that I have to meet.
