What I like doing when I write books is finding something incredibly obvious that's almost too big to see. I think that's what happened with 'Generation X' - reporting on the modern world in general. That same sort of thing in the art world is finding something so obvious as bottle caps and looking at it again and saying, 'What's going on here?'

[as a judge on a contest to capture the sensual aspect of a photograph] There is obviously something out there. I don't know how or why it works, but we've all felt it and we all know it's real. That's the sixth sense.
