Sometimes I look at my work and I wonder why I do it, but I enjoy it so I carry on. I enjoy how my head drifts away for hours on end and how I'm totally at one with myself. That I can forget to eat, drink, or converse with the outside world. Our mediums maybe different, but our experience of the life of an artist... exactly the same!! Long may it remain so :-) Enjoy your solitude as I shall enjoy mine xx Self-doubt is, I believe, the key ingredient to creativity!

I never knew that? Thankyou so much for that Roger - it's great to hear from someone who understands what a truly incredible driver he was. Of all the greats of motor-sport I find it difficult to consider Clarke as anything but the greatest. I'm sure Senna, Villenueve, Fangio and Nouvoulari wouldn't mind... WOW! I never knew that?

I came up with a unique statistic. I took away the first two seasons in every Formula One racing driver's career, considering that during that time they were learning their trade. I then noticed an incredible fact; that every time Clark raced and his car did not develop a fault, he won the race. Sometimes he also won when the car did have a fault. No one else accomplished that. He was a magnificent natural talent and was a superb driver in whatever type of racing he undertook. A few years ago I did an article in my newspaper on Jim Clark.

My time in the pool now is a time of reflection, I can get rid of my frustrations, it's all very personal. And yes for me I totally get that it makes you feel alive.
