Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object.

You don't have to reinvent the wheel every day. Today you will do what you did yesterday, and tomorrow you will do what you did today. Eventually you will get somewhere.

I'm poor white trash from the state of Washington.

I am going for a level of perfection that is only mine... Most of the pleasure is in getting the last little piece perfect.

I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.

Any innovation that is evident in my paintings is a direct result of something that happened in the course of making a print.

You know, the way art history is taught, often there's nothing that tells you why the painting is great. The description of a lousy painting and the description of a great painting will very much sound the same.
