Every child should have a chance to feel special.

Inspiration is highly overrated. If you sit around and wait for the clouds to part, it's not liable to ever happen. More often than not, work is salvation.

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

Painting is the frozen evidence of a performance.

I don't believe in inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. Some of the time you know you're cooking, and the rest of the time, you just do it.

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

I build a painting by putting little marks together-some look like hot dogs, some like doughnuts.
