Danny Fox Quotes

I don't really need to be inspired by literature though. At the end of the day it's colour and imagery moved around until it works.

To make music I rely on other people, which is good - that's the main difference in painting and music at this stage. They are separate parts of my life really, like having two jobs, one in a bar, one in a lighthouse.

Some of my work is very instinctive, some of my favourite things I've ever done are just two minute sketches, nothing is better when you get it like that so quick, then other work takes months.

Women really like the horses, more so than men.

Other people's songs can inspire me, though - I always have music on when I'm painting.

Sometimes I just want to sit and write at a clean table and not get paint all over my hands.

I don't think of myself as a rebellious artist, a lot of people have said that about me because I came from Cornwall and choose to paint people in what they considered to be an urban style instead of Cornish landscapes. I've never agreed with them. It's bullshit.

I like to listen to a lot of classical music when I'm painting, the most simplistic stuff I can find. I like simple piano.

Painting can be like poetry but as somebody who creates both I feel the necessity for both so they cant be that similar. Sometimes I think it's as basic as not wanting to get dirty.
