Inspiration is for amateurs.

There are so many artists that are dyslexic or learning disabled, it's just phenomenal. There's also an unbelievably high proportion of artists who are left-handed, and a high correlation between left-handedness and learning disabilities.

It's always a pleasure to talk about someone else's work.

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

At the same time that I'm finding the color world I want, I'm also trying to make the imagery, you know, by the nature of the strokes themselves.

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

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