I can't always reach the image in my mind... almost never, in fact... so that the abstract image I create is not quite there, but it gets to the point where I can leave it.

Every idea occurs while you are working. If you are sitting around waiting for inspiration, you could sit there forever.

From my point of view, photography never got any better than it was in 1840.

A photograph doesn't gain weight or lose weight, or change from being happy to being sad. It's frozen. You can use it, then recycle it.

All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself.

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

All the fingerprint paintings are done without a grid.
