“We have to take time to see its beauty.

“That’s what I hope my work will encourage people to do when they see it on the large screens.

“I’m working away now because I’m 83. How much longer do I have? I don’t know.

“I’m still a smoker but working is very good for me.

“It gives me a new lease of life.

“I’ve got a new lease of life here. I’m just going to go on working here… (there is) always something to do.”
