I don’t have any kind of mission as I paint. It’s an activity for its own sake, without point. Isn’t there something better to do with one’s life? If there is I’m not sure what it is … I’m really rather greedy for art in all its contradictory manifestations. I’m the ideal consumer. You don’t have to play musak to make me reach for the art packet. I fill my trolley indiscriminately.” – John Jones
