All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid.

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 absolutely hate technology, and I'm computer illiterate, and I never use any labor-saving devices although I'm not convinced that a computer is a labor-saving device.

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

Once I started working with the Polaroid, I would take a shot and if that shot was good, then I'd move the model and change the lighting or whatever... slowly sneaking up on what I wanted rather than having to predetermine what it was.

While photography is the easiest medium in which to be competent, it is the hardest in which to develop an idiosyncratic personal vision.
