I worked as the Art Critic for our regional newspaper and some international art journals over the years.
The fact is, many "quotes" are paraphrased or at least edited for grammar, etc.
It's hard to know why quotes from Down' individuals aren't appearing.
Perhaps there's some prejudicial uncomfortability latent in reporters who don't want to interact with their subjects.
It's a pretty cynical business. The practitioners, in general, don't have much respect for their subjects. I wasn't impressed by the humanity or even decency of many press people.
