I don't feel qualified to comment on whether or not the internet has damaged collaboration and creativity. That is not my experience... my experience is that I have had access to meeting people online that I might otherwise not have met, gone on to meet them in real life and collaborated on fun projects. — Horace Panter

Art is my 'solo career' if you like. Musically, as a bass player, I depend on other musicians to play, whereas, with painting, I'm on my own. I find it quite easy to switch heads and I enjoy both the mayhem of being on tour and the serenity of being alone in my art studio. — Horace Panter

The trick seems to be not to get too pissed on open nights so that I can answer any questions without making a fool of myself. Doesn't always work! — Horace Panter

I think there are still plenty of free-thinking creative people out there. There always will be. — Horace Panter
