"Sometimes, when the radio is on, I don't hear a thing. I'm too busy inventing and designing. But often there is 'process' - slapping on layers, filling in. Radio then throws the mind a lifeline, giving structure to the day. You are included, party to an infinite beyond. Radio combats 'Why Ìýam I standing in the kitchen when I should be in the studio?' syndrome. Radio gave me the push I needed to paint the way I do now. Terry Frost, on Desert Island Discs, said, above all, you needed courage. Things were never the same after I heard that."
