Part of what Im about is seeing how I can paint the same thing differently instead of different things the same way.

Most contemporary artists are behind the bubble in time. They're making videos that are so incredibly boring compared to a good movie. Or they're making work where I say, "You realize minimal art is 50 or 60 years old?" That's what I tell people to shock them. They just blanch.

The abstract expressionists had that thing of, subject matter becomes content, content becomes form. And I always thought there was no room for style. I felt with my painting, the style really is the content. The style holds everything together.

I like to make an image that is so simple you can't avoid it, and so complicated you can't figure it out.

You usually want to get something out of a painting other than the ideas that you had in your head.

Paint faster than you can think.
