To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible.

I don't really have studios. I wander around - around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me.

At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery.

I wanted to get it all down, maybe out of my system. I wanted to be able to say, Everything's possible-if you believe and can get excited.

I think a person permeates a spot, and a lost presence makes the environment timeless to me, keeps an area alive. It pulsates because of that.

I can't work completely out of my imagination-I must put my foot in a bit of truth-and then I can fly free.

Believe in yourself and believe in love. Love something.
