What makes everything one is the style.

You have to find what your temperament is like and live around it. I find I work really well off the top of my head because you get the unconscious into it. Otherwise, it's just an idea. And I'm not so hot there.

I use the iPhone now for information. But with selfies, I don't know what those people are doing. It's like they believe what they see is real, even with the [filters]. And God bless them! But to me, it's not a self-portrait, it's a reality project.

Paint faster than you can think.

What's in front of me is what's most interesting.

Make a painting you can work on for a long period, and make it look like it doesn't show any effort.

You have to be a little scared of what you're doing. Otherwise, you just paint the same masterpiece a little worse.
