So Magritte I got interested in early on. What I loved was he was apparently a very normal guy. It all went on here [points to his head], no outward semblance of this surrealism. He used to paint from nine till one o’clock, break for lunch, very civilised Belgian gentleman. Two o’clock till five, finish painting. Very ordered, very normal. I loved the idea of this straight guy coming out with these far-out images.
