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

Painting is the frozen evidence of a performance.

Inspiration is for amateurs - the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will - through work - bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great "art idea."

I'm not by nature a terribly intuitive person; I need to build a situation in which I will behave more intuitively, and that has really changed the life of my work - I found a way to trick myself into being intuitive.

I'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant.

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

In my art, I deconstruct and then I reconstruct, so visual perception is one of my primary interests.
