The unity in any painter's work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave in a certain way... style.

I destroy things every day in the act of working and often recall a picture I had considered finished in order to rework it.

I go out each morning and draw. I can't really start a painting in the morning until I've done a drawing.

In addition to the artistic influences, I am influenced by my current private life, my feelings about it and my energy level and state of health.

Real style is not having a program - it's how one behaves in a crisis.

I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.
