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

There are so many artists that are dyslexic or learning disabled, it's just phenomenal. There's also an unbelievably high proportion of artists who are left-handed, and a high correlation between left-handedness and learning disabilities.

I have a great deal of difficulty recognizing faces, especially if I haven't - if I've just met somebody, it's hopeless.

If you're overwhelmed by the size of a problem, break it down into smaller pieces.

Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow.

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.

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