I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.

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.

When you come up in the art world, whatevers in the air, the issues of the moment, end up becoming part of the working method or modus operandi of how you think about doing a painting. And I came up at a time when-actually painting was dead when I came up. Sculpture sort of ruled.

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.

Painting is a lie. It's the most magic of all media, the most transcendent. It makes space where there is no space.

Every child should have a chance to feel special.

I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.
