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

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

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

Paintings can make you cry and it's just **colored dirt**.

If it looks like art, chances are it's somebody else's art.

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.

Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience.
