Being so pathetic, I don’t read. I just … do things – writing out interviews you can’t read, on pictures of footprints and things like that. I kind of like the idea of nailing the thing down and not really showing too much about it. There’s just so much you can take for collage nowadays.

I am a parasite off beauty.

Parasites

I had some highlight moments in the early ’60s when I used to do a lot of rubbings. I used Afta; it’s an amazing chemical. If you pour it on something and rub, you get amazing results. Before that, I used lighter fluid and, well, I’ve always liked blood. Everybody thinks I am very sick, but the thing is, blood is better than any ink or paint.

Photography should be redefined. It’s largely technical… Photography is just unbelievably limiting. I always think of David Bailey and all the fashion photographers – they overlap, you can’t always tell who did it. I don’t really even like photography all that much. I just think it’s so overdone.

The whole world is a scab. The point is to pick it constructively.
