I accept I am not everyone's cup of tea, but judge me over a period of time.

I analyse performances on the pitch rather than any warm-up.

I believe in what I do on the training ground.

The Hull job had been offered to me and while watching Chelsea against Bayern Munich I was thinking: 'I'm going to give it a crack.' I'd rather be managing than commentating.

I don't think I was a control freak. I just couldn't get my head around things. When I joined Sheffield United I was told I had £5m to spend, then when I went to see the chief executive he told me if I didn't raise £350,000 no one was getting paid.

It's not always about money, we got Hull promoted with a collection of loans and waifs and strays.

When I work on sculpture, I don't have to worry about function. When I work on a piece of architecture, I must think about function all the time.

With the beginning of any record for an artist there's a certain amount of time of finding the blueprint and trying to find what the architecture is of the sound.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.
