I always looked at painting. And at some point I said, Why not me? I spent fifteen years trying to get somewhere. I started getting somewhere when I was forty-five. My good fortune was that I never learned painting from teachers...The critics have always been against me. All of them, always. Recently there have been a few who say I'm a genius and things like that, but it doesn't mean anything. I will be dead before I know who I am, because such knowledge takes time. Only with time can you begin to see value.

No-one had ever taken me seriously before. You were the first not to regard me as skilled only in self-deception. You patronised me, of course, but then you patronised everyone. But even I realised that you liked to be around when I saw something for the first time, discovered a painter I had never heard of, gazed with wonder on a masterpiece you had known all your life. You could tell me everything about the artist, dissect his skill and turn his genius into words. But you couldn’t be frozen in amazement, couldn’t tremble with emotion. I provided that for you, and in return you gave me an education.

Urgent things to do:

- Go to European hushed museums to see Morrissey - Go to the opera to see Morrissey's life Oh I'm so very funny, very witty, but very lonely. If I cannot stand this fake world, will Morrissey take my hand?

...And if they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mabel, they stamp their feet and cry.

Art-hounds; very funny, very witty, but very lonely.
