लोग मुझे बहुत आकर्षित करते हैं। जाने-अनजाने में, मैं पूरी जिंदगी उनके व्यवहार का अध्ययन करता रहा हूँ।

People fascinate me. Consciously or unconsciously, I have been studying their behavior all my life.

किसी का पोर्ट्रेट (चित्र) बनाना वाकई एक असंभव काम है। इस धरती के सबसे जटिल जीव—यानी एक इंसान—को पेंट के कुछ छिड़कावों, पानी के रंगों और धब्बों के जरिए एक सपाट सतह पर उतारने की कोशिश करना कितना बेतुका विचार है।

Painting someone's portrait is, of course, an impossible task. What an absurd idea to try and distil a human being, the most complex organism on the planet, into flicks, washes, and blobs of paint on a two-dimensional surface.

कभी-कभार, पोर्ट्रेट बनाते समय मैं सीधे कैनवास पर रंग लगाने लग जाता हूँ... यहाँ की पहाड़ियों पर अपनी साइकिल चलाने के अलावा, यह मेरा सबसे जोखिम भरा काम है... बिना किसी सुरक्षा जाल के रस्सी पर चलने जैसा!

Sometimes, in a portrait, I go straight in with paint onto canvas... Other than riding my bike up and down the hills around here, it is the most dangerous thing I do... like tightrope-walking without a safety net!

हम सभी इस बात में कम या ज्यादा दिलचस्पी रखते हैं कि हमारे आसपास के लोग कैसे दिखते हैं, वे क्या कर रहे हैं, और क्यों कर रहे हैं।

All of us take an interest, to a greater or lesser extent, in what people around us look like, what they are doing, and why they are doing it.

बचपन में, मैं रेम्ब्रायड के पोर्ट्रेट्स की प्रतियां देखा करता था... उनकी पेंटिंग में लोग इतने जीवंत लगते थे कि मुझे लगता था मैं उन्हें अच्छी तरह जानता हूँ... चित्रकार की अपने मॉडल के प्रति सहानुभूति और पेंट के इस्तेमाल में उसकी महारत ने तब मेरी कल्पना को झकझोर दिया था, और आज भी मैं उसी को हासिल करने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ।

As a boy, I used to look at reproductions of Rembrandt's portraits... the people in his paintings were so real I felt I knew them... It is his empathy for the sitter, combined with his enjoyment and dexerity in handling paint that captured my imagination then, and is what I am striving for still.
