"By the time one has become a painter it is already too late to be a bad one. There is too much at stake. We are committed completely and irrevocably to  pursue a vision  of  the  world which will be defined by  our  experience  and  training,  temperament  and  age.  All that is required of us is work and discipline. Also, that  particular  kind  of  outrageous  courage or  bravado that  is needed when  it is necessary  to  change one's colours or  bend  a line that  has formerly always been straight."

William Crozier at Arthur Tooth & Sons gallery, London.
