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

The camera is objective. When it records a face it can't make any hierarchical decisions about a nose being more important than a cheek. The camera is not aware of what it is looking at. It just gets it all down.

Inspiration is for amateurs. professionals work everyday. Personally the best inspiration is a deadline.

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

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.

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

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