I just don't know what makes a picture, really - the thing that makes it is something unique, as far as I can understand. Just like one guy can write a sentence and it's beautiful and another one can write it and it's dead. What the difference is, I don't know.

I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.

You're a legend in your own mind.

In terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't do it, you don't know what might happen.

I love art because it doesn't have rules like baseball. The only rule is to be good. That's the toughest thing to do.

I realize that we all do express ourselves, but those who express that which is always being done are those whose thinking is almost in every way in accord with everyone else. Expression on this basis has become dull to those who wish to think for themselves.

The mystery isn't in the technique, it's in each of us.
